Mule Day, an annual celebration of all things related to mules, is held in Columbia, Tennessee, the self-proclaimed "Mule Capital" of the world. Begun in 1840 as a meeting for breeders, it now attracts 300,000 people and takes place over four days, centering on the Mule Day Parade, which started in 1934. In addition to mules, traditional Appalachian food, music, dancing, and crafts are featured.[...]

Mule Day, with its festive air eventually evolved into what is now an almost week-long celebration of the mule. Thousands of visitors come to Columbia to take part in the numerous activities ranging from working mule and best of breed events, to horse shows, arts and crafts booths, and a flea market. The smell of barbecue specialties and homemade pies blends with the smoky aroma of roasted corn and funnel cake sweetness. Other aromas include hillbilly sweat and festering mule dung.


Happy Mule Day!

If yesterday was mule day, I wonder how anti-immigrant the good people of Columbia, Tennessee are today?
