Since 2016 HamQuest has been able to hold our general admission entrance tickets to only $5.00 each. The Wilson County Amateur Radio Club has experienced a sharp increase in operational cost for this event. We also benchmarked other area Hamfests and found our prices likely needed adjusted several years back. After a careful study it was decided to raise the price of our general admission to $10.00 each. This positions our fees to better align with other Hamfests and helps us cover increased operational costs. Our HamQuest solely operates on club funds largely from the previous years event and donations.
This year we’ve planned more educational forums of which were a huge success and more commercial vendors!! Once again, this will be an exciting day. We look forward to seeing you at HamQuest 2026!!!
About @MidTnHamQuest
The Greater Nashville & Middle TN HamQuest was first held on July 30, 2016 and remains dedicated to combining traditional Hamfest elements with less traditional offerings that will help to unite the Ham community. The Quest is sponsored by the Wilson Amateur Radio Club, Inc.
We believe that the HamQuest is filling a void in Middle Tennessee and it’s surrounding areas. The HamQuest is held at the Wilson County Fairgrounds in Lebanon, TN, home to the Wilson County and Tennessee State Fair. Lebanon is just a short drive from Nashville with the feel of rural Tennessee. We have excellent access to I-40 and are convenient to a large geographical area. There are many different camping sites and hotels within a short drive from the HamQuest. The HamQuest provides a wonderful venue, low admission cost, hourly door prizes and a great balance of new and used offerings sure to make it worth your while to join us.
