As spring approaches, the City of Knoxville is excited to invite residents to a series of free, family-friendly events scheduled throughout the warmer months of 2024. These events, organized by the City’s Office of Special Events in collaboration with multiple City departments and community organizations, aim to provide enjoyable outdoor activities for the whole family.
One of the highlights of Knoxville’s spring and summer events is the “Concerts on the Square” series, which includes both “Jazz Tuesdays” and “Variety Thursdays.” Sponsored by Comcast and supported by several local partners, including the Downtown Knoxville Alliance and the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra, these concerts bring live music to the heart of the city at no cost to attendees.
