Calendar of Events

Heart Of Town Festival is back for 2020! The festival was founded in 2019 as a spring celebration of music, art, and community. Located in the heart of Knoxville, we set up shop at a lot beside Riot Printing in the warehouse district to bring life back to a forgotten neighborhood. We want to bring our community together for a chance to enjoy the springtime weather and enjoy great music, art and a friendly festival atmosphere. Join us this spring for The Heart Of Town Festival. We’re going to party all day and spread good vibes all over this city. Look, if you get confused, just listen to the music play.

The festival features Knoxville’s, arts, wears and jewelry. Don’t miss out on the amazing makers! And, it’s a full day of music and we’ve got your meals covered. The festival features the tastiest of Knoxville’s food trucks.
