The Knoxville Guide

From the Cradle of Country Music to punk at The Pilot Light — Tennessee Theatre, Bijou, The Mill & Mine, WDVX Blue Plate Special, and the venues that make Knox a music city.

Saturday farmers markets, First Friday art walks, rooftop bars, chef-driven restaurants, and why Market Square is the living room of Knoxville.

Neyland Stadium traditions, Vol Navy tailgating on the Tennessee River, the best pre-game spots on the Strip, parking secrets, and why 100,000 people in orange is unlike anything else.

Schulz Brau's authentic beer garden, Pretentious Beer Co.'s wild ales, Alliance Brewing, and a full crawl map from Old City to Bearden.

Cades Cove, Newfound Gap, Clingmans Dome, Gatlinburg side trips, and the lesser-known Cataloochee Valley — all within 90 minutes of downtown.

What makes each Knoxville neighborhood tick: Old City's nightlife, South Knox's river vibes, Bearden's walkability, Happy Holler's revival, and North Knox's art scene.
