We were on a family vacation where we landed at the Knoxville airport and needed to stay overnight…read more It wasn't a destination town for us but I decided since we'd never been to Tennessee before to get a tour before we headed east. I looked online and found KISS Caboose was free and goes based on tips, which I thought was fantastic since we had two children under 10, that wouldn't appreciate the tour as much as my husband and I would. I called to make a reservation and Gina picked up even though she was in the middle of a busy event. I told her the day and times that we would be available and she hooked us up with one of her best tour guides, Jennifer. I cannot express how excellent the tour was. I guess the best way to put it is I want to live in Knoxville now! It was an hour long in a adorable little bus. She was able to show us historical sites and buildings, and some of the local must go to shops and murals. She even pulled over and took pictures of our family in front of the murals! Coming from the west coast her accent was delightful and her knowledge was astounding. I was never interested in history but she left me with historical knowledge that I think I will never forget. She met us at the Art Museum which is free and also AWESOME with a great gift shop which she also recommended. If you are in a very small party of 2 to 5 people max, then please check them out, even if you're a local, you may learn a few things.

My sister in law treated me with a giftcard for two tickets for a walking food tour of Knoxville…read morelast winter. We waited until the weather got nicer and more restaurants were open after the pandemic. Pamela was kind, knowledgeable, and interspersed the history of Knoxville and various buildings/restaurants as we went on our walking tour down Gay Street and Market Square. We stopped and had tastings (appetizers/small meals) at three local restaurants, tea tasting at a local tea shop, and dessert over 3 hours. The portions were more than enough to enjoy without being uncomfortable by the end of the tour. I highly recommend Pamela and her food tour. We are locals and still learned a lot and got to try new things. Would make for a great date or fun day out with friends!

Ramsey House was built in 1797 by Knoxville's first builder, Thomas Hope, for Francis Alexander…read moreRamsey. The home is constructed of Tennessee pink marble and blue limestone. It was known at that time as the finest home in Tennessee. The structure is significant for its original interior and exterior architectural features and its period decorative art collection. The home is said to be haunted, and I feel quite drawn to it, and did feel a presence, will have to keep coming back. It sat empty for many years, and was refurbished in 1952. The Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities took it over. It is a historic treasure, you step back in time. They have tours go on their website, blacksmith class, music events, haunted tours, etc...

This is a great spot to learn a little more about the founding families of East Tennessee!…read moreFun fact, the Ramsey House has the first attached kitchen to a home in East TN because the stone house was less likely to burn down. They have great events all year long. Love the free vintage baseball games in the summer where they dress up all old timey and play without gloves. The candlelight tours around Halloween and Christmas are beautiful and actually different from the tours they give normally during the year so you can learn even more. Also love the Christmas marketplace and spring marketplace to shop local with a great variety of vendors. Staff is so nice and it's a great stop on a series of tours if you're interested in historic homes in the area.

Growing up in Knoxville i always experienced the Dogwood Arts Festival in Market Square Mall. I…read morehave been extracted from Knoxville for 14+ years. Needless to say I (as well as my Mom) was surprised that the Festival shifted to World's Fair Park. It is much BIGGER than I remember. I guess Market Square wasn't big enough to handle all these cool booths. Honestly it is much less "Fair Like" then the Washington County Fair in Hillsboro. No rides and unnecessary fried food. Mostly cool art, tons of crafts, and I was able to grab a cool shady spot to chill and write my review. I was really hoping to spot one of my old(er) friends from Knoxville while I was walking around. I don't usually last long at these festivals...my interest seems to wain fairly quickly, but people watching is fun too. Kinda reminds me of sitting on the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan. Yup it always comes back to New York. Y'all come back now, ya hear?

There are differing categories of chalk art with winners are chosen at the end of the day (and labeled as such). There are food trucks and other vendors selling goods and often activities for the littles, and live music to enjoy. Just note that it gets crowded on the Sat. of the event and if you want to avoid that (and it hasn't rained, go the day after to enjoy the art walk without the heavy crowds.
