Knoxville, TN  |  Good places. Good people. Great town.
Things To Do

Start downtown. Then keep going.

LocalKnox mixes the obvious Knoxville landmarks with the stuff locals actually use: greenways, markets, neighborhood walks, live music, history stops, and easy outdoor escapes.

Downtown loop

Market Square → Gay Street → Old City → World’s Fair Park → riverfront. Easy to split into food, history, shopping, or music stops.

History day

East Tennessee History Center, Blount Mansion, James White’s Fort, historic neighborhoods, and a sunset walk along the river.

Music day

Cradle of Country Music sites, WDVX, the Bijou, Tennessee Theatre, and whatever live show is happening that night.

Urban outdoors

Greenways, Ijams, river access, parks, overlooks, and bikeable routes close to the city core.

Family day

Zoo Knoxville, museums, parks, farmers markets, seasonal festivals, and low-stress downtown stops.

East Tennessee escape

Use Knoxville as the base for the Smokies, Foothills Parkway, lakes, mountain towns, and scenic drives.
