SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Standing Stone State Park will host the National Rolley Hole Marbles Championship and Festival on Saturday\, September 13\, 2025\, drawing some of the country’s best players to Tennessee where they will match wit and skills in what is known as the Super Bowl of marbles.

It will be played by the rules of the National Rolley Hole Marbles Championship\, on a dirt yard that measures 40-by-25 feet. The strategy comes by determining the best way to keep opponents from making the hole\, which often requires skillful hard shots against their marbles\, sending them ricocheting across the yard. (Pre-registration is required to play in the Rolley Hole Tournament\, contact the SSSP Park Office at 931-823-6347 for more information.) \nThe festival will also offer several other separate marble tournaments for spectators and marble players to enjoy\, including the games: Ringer\, Tennessee Square\, British\, and Georgia Rolley Hole. \nIn addition to a day full of marble fun\, the 42nd Annual National Rolley Hole Marbles Championship event will include a Live Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Festival. This year’s music lineup for the event includes: Uncle Shuffelo & his Haint Hollow Hootenanny\, Conspiracy to Kill a Possum\, Clearview\, Bluegrass Solutions\, The New Stillhouse Reelers\, Travis Wetzel Band\, Cannon Creek\, and Cherokee Hope & Company. Hosted by Justin Reed. Sound provided by ReelSound Productions. \nThe setting is spectacular\, admission is free\, and the talent line-up is top notch with a combination of great music artists\, great marble making artists\, and the world’s greatest marble players\, this really a special one-of a kind event.
