Rock the Country Music Festival to Have Major Impact on Blount County Traffic

Greenback, TN (WOKI) The Blount County Sheriff’s Office is warning of major traffic delays near Maple Lane Farms as the Rock the Country Music Festival rolls into town this weekend.

The sheriff’s office says the festival is expected to bring between 12 and 15 thousand people to Greenback.

Officials remind you that traffic will be impacted in and around the area of Maple Lane Farms beginning Thursday, April 24 and continuing through Sunday, April 27 as big name performers including Nickelback, Kid Rock and Lynard Skynyrd draw crowds to the area.

The Blount County Sheriff’s Office also provided a map via social media detailing the traffic pattern into and around the venue, including where deputies will be stationed (see below).

Additionally, Sheriff James Lee Berrong reminds all festival goers of the office’s “zero tolerance” policy when it comes to those who decide to break the law while at the festival.

“Sheriff Berrong would like to remind festival goers to have a good time while staying safe and exhibiting good citizenship,” the post said. “There will be a zero-tolerance policy in place for attendees who do not abide by the law and who refuse to use common sense.”
