How to Holiday Downtown

Whether you’re planning a winter weekend get-away, a festive celebration with life-long friends, or creating new family traditions, you’ll find that "something special" in Downtown Knoxville this holiday season.

This festive time of the year transforms Downtown Knoxville into a sparkly, bright, and merry place with memory-making magic for adults and children alike. Of course, there's eating, drinking, window shopping, and gift buying, but there's also so much more!

Get lost on the Peppermint Trail, spot Santa's Scout Elves in storefront windows, skate under twinkling lights in Market Square, and explore holiday markets. Enjoy lights and beautifully decorated storefronts decked out and dipped in peppermint, and sip on warm hot chocolates.

This holiday season, we invite you to slow down to enjoy Downtown Knoxville.
