Knoxville - Family

There’s no shortage of buzz in Scruffy City. Nestled in the Appalachian Mountains along the Tennessee River, Knoxville stands as the economic and cultural center of East Tennessee. Among the many things to do in Knoxville, the University of Tennessee Volunteers host home games at renowned venues like Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center for the university’s basketball programs and Neyland Stadium for its football team, while the city celebrates a crucial piece of its elite sports history at the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame. Attend annual Knoxville events like the Big Ears Festival and the Dogwood Arts Festival, sample some local bluegrass and more at the Bijou Theatre or Tennessee Theatre and explore the nightlife scene further at Market Square or Old City.
