First Friday Downtown

Art, Culture, (and Snacks), Oh My!
02 May
5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Downtown Knoxville

Art, Culture, (and Snacks), Oh My!

Downtown Knoxville erupts into a magical land of art, culture, and (free!) wine and snacks on the First Friday of each month! Businesses transform into galleries, while restaurants and bars host a myriad of performances from comedy to music to poetry. Map out your First Friday experience, or simply park and stroll – either way, you’re sure to come out of the experience very fancy and impressive 😉

Pro-Tip: We suggest starting around the 100 Block of Gay St. around 5pm and working your way through the Old City. But make sure to hit staples like The Emporium, Visit Knoxville, and the Art Market!

THIS MONTH:
⭐️ Sunsphere Sunsets are back with refreshments & makers & gorgeous views of the sun settin’ from the Sunsphere.
⭐️ Jackson Ave in the Old City will be closed to cars for the Old City Market.
⭐️ Union Ave Books will be hosting a poetry night!
⭐️ Pretentious Glass will be open with glass demos – snag a beer from next door & watch the magic happen!
⭐️ In the Old City, peruse art & enjoy live music and/or refreshments in spots like Dogwood Arts, Awaken Coffee, Able Trade, and Rala.
⭐️ Want some friends to explore with? Start makin’ new friends right here!
