Most towns have their one claim to fame, and with Cave City it s their watermelons.
Cave City is home to the Cave City Watermelon Festival held every year in August. For a town that is usually just a wide spot in the road, Cave City comes to life this time of year. And don t even think of trying to get through town during the Watermelon Festival Parade. There is only one street through town, and it s the main highway, which is the town s Main Street. Park the truck and climb out onto the tailgate and watch the parade.
