Market Square
INTRODUCING
Market Square
Market Square is in the literal heart of downtown Knoxville. Locals and visitors alike love our cityโs square and keep it buzzing from morning to evening. Local shops, restaurants, and bars line both sides. You can hang out on a patio or rooftop, saunter through the Farmers Market, or take a moment to enjoy one of the many street performers. (You’re not truly a local until you’ve seen the man perform with a saw, or been friendily-forced to play the violin ๐)
Make sure to keep an eye out for special occasions too: Market Square is home to things like Summer Movie Nights, seasonal concerts, and various free festivals.
HERE ARE SOME
THINGS WE LOOOVE
It's a hub of restaurants, bars, shops, and festivals.
There is such a fun mix of street-performers.
The splash pad makes the summery vibes unmistakeable while the pop-up ice skating rink does the equally awesome opposite during the winter.
Lines of patios make it perfect for summer dining.
BESIDES THAT, HERE’S
THE OVERALL VIBE
This area of downtown can be a haaair touristy
Parking can be hectic - especially during events or weekends. Try for Market Square or Locust Street Garages since they're free on weekends!
