The Condensed List of the Best Things to do in Knoxville, as Told by a Local...

1. GET OUTDOORS!

​                    If there's nothing else you remember from the rest of the blog post, please remember this one!  There are so many great things to do here in and around our great city, and you can never get bored doing any of it!  From Ijams Nature Center to World's Fair Park to more hiking trails than you can count on your fingers and toes, the Knoxville area has it all!
​                    Here are some of my personal pictures of the prettiest scenes I've captured over the years...

2.  Check out Market Square and the downtown area like Gay St. and the Old city.
           Why? (Inserts selfless plug for my downtown food tours here) Well, for one, it's where our wonderful East TN Tours go to showcase some of the best restaurants in town while giving guests a history "lesson" all the while sampling delicious plates from favorite eateries!  Market Square hosts a farmers market from May 4th through November 19th from 11-2 and Concerts  and Jazz on the Square as well as First Friday's!  Gay St. holds the Art Market Gallery, the Bijou Theatre, and the beautiful Tennessee Theatre. 
  

3.  FOOOOTBAAAAAAALLLL!
            As they say here "WE BLEED ORANGE!"  If you haven't been to a UT football game at Neyland Stadium, it's an experience that one needs to have at least once in their life.  

4.  Go see a concert/show...or two...or three! 
            Thompson Boling Arena hosts numerous events from graduation ceremonies, basketball games and concerts all throughout the year.  As previously said, the Tennessee Theatre holds great events like concerts, plays and movies often during the year

5.  Go on a food tour!
        Last, but most certainly not least, everyone who lives in or visits Knoxville MUST MUST MUST go on a food tour!  But which one, may you ask?  Well, EAST TN TOURS of course!  We'll take you to some of Knoxville's most desirable restaurants with the best chefs, and you'll even get face time with the chefs, owners and/or managers themselves.  We pride ourselves on being the premier food tour in the Knoxville area and providing your group with unforgettable memories and food tastings that will keep you coming back for more!  BOOK HERE and get your tickets now!
