GAY STREET
INTRODUCING
Gay Street
Gay St. is the main drag of downtown Knoxville, notably marked by the big, bright, bold Tennessee Theatre sign (if you donโt take a photo of it, have you really been to Knoxville? ๐). Sheโs flanked on either side by local bars, restaurants, venues and shops. In typical Knoxville fashion, thereโs plenty of opportunity to learn some history or catch some music. Needless to say, there is no reason to be bored on Gay St!
HERE ARE SOME
THINGS WE LOOOVE
It's the heartbeat of downtown with restaurants, bars, and theaters.
Plenty of photo opps & people watching
All the parades & events (Christmas tree lighting is our fave!)
BESIDES THAT, HERE’S
THE OVERALL VIBE
Drive slowly as pedestrians make themselves at home!
It's the most "city" feeling part of our lil scruffy city. We love it!

โจSHOP SMALL SATURDAYโจ
There are LOADS of incredible small local businesses in Knoxville to shop from today but probably only one that said, โIf you choose to avoid shopping altogether this weekend, we fully understand & respect that decision.โ ๐๐
@knoxfill is a freakinโ gemmm, yโall ๐๐๐
If you want to shop locally AND sustainably this year, @knoxfill in South Knoxville (just around the corner from SoKno Taco) is heeere for youuuu. Theyโre super knowledgeable & intentional in what they offer - from refillable items to local soaps to handmade goodies - all with our darling little earth in mind ๐๐๐ (we are honestly such fans of earth, only place weโve ever lived! ๐๐)
If youโve talked to us in the past couple years, you already know we are obsessed with what this lil business is doing in our scruffy city & their dreams for our planet ๐ฅน๐ซถ๐
So anywaaaay, swipe to see some of their options, head down south today for deals & Small Business Saturday specials & give โem a follow for local sustainability tips!
Where are YOU shopping in Knoxville for Small Business Saturday??
