Calendar of Events

Historic House Museums of Knoxville host movies as part of their collaborative program, Movies at the Museums! Enjoy four different movies outdoors at four different historic house museums. From rousing, supernatural escapades and magical childhood classics to silly animation and fast-paced action, each historic house museum will show a different film for audiences to enjoy while also taking in the unique landscapes of the historic site. Admission is FREE for each movie, but donations are greatly appreciated to support each museum’s preservation mission. Attendees are encouraged to bring chairs, blankets, or other items to make their time there comfortable. Concessions will be available at each museum. Please see each individual museum's respective event pages for more details on the movies, concessions, and any special activities happening at their site!

Grounds open at 7:30pm and movies begin at dark (~8:15pm, movie start times are not exact). Locations change for each movie so be sure to check the exact address for each house museum. Dogs are allowed, but must be on leash at all times. In case of inclement weather, a rain plan will be posted on the museums event page and social media outlets.

Friday, September 27 at 8 pm

Founded in 2005 by female vocalist and multi- instrumentalist Kelley Breiding, Kelley and the Cowboys are a four piece band from North Carolina who put their signature sound on old standards and original music in a style heavily influenced by early forms of western swing, rockabilly, country, and blues. They are hell bent on making the very best vintage country music in an age where so much of its tradition has been washed out and forgotten.

The band is Kelley Breiding (band leader, vocalist, guitar), Jimmy Tremor (lead guitar), Colby Jack (bass), Steve-O Price (drums). https://kelleyandthecowboys.com/

$20 at the door, $15 General Audience Advance, $14 JCA members, students & seniors 65+
Tickets available at TicketLeap (https://jubilee-community-arts.ticketleap.com), by mail or at the door 30 minutes prior to show.

Union Ave Books is thrilled to present Leanne Morgan for her debut book, What In The World?! A Southern Woman's Guide To Laughing At Life's Unexpected Curveballs And Beautiful Blessings. As Reese Witherspoon said, “this book is the inspirational story that we all need. With hard work, determination, and a quick sense of humor, Leanne Morgan went from marriage to motherhood to realizing her dreams. And she tells you all about it—yes, all of it—in her signature tell-it-like-it-is southern style that will make you chuckle from start to finish. No one makes me laugh harder than Leanne Morgan!"

GO! Contemporary Dance Works will celebrate its 21st anniversary with Perpetual Motion, an outdoor performance at the TN Amphitheatre at World’s Fair Park on Friday, September 27, 2024 at 8PM.

Perpetual Motion brings together inter-disciplinary choreographic works by some of the most experimental dance-makers in Knoxville and will premier a new work by award winning New York choreographer Tracie Stanfield. Stanfield is a faculty member at Broadway Dance Center and Steps on Broadway. Also presenting new work for GO! is Fredrick Davis, an accomplished former principal dancer with Dance Theatre of Harlem. With a roster of 50 pre-professional and professional dancers, GO! celebrates a 21 year journey of art, family and connection with this performance. Mixing new with the old, GO! brings back to the stage favorites such as Unshaken by Denise Njuguna, Trifecta by Darby O’Connor-Lanigan and Revivification by Laura Shields. “We are still dreaming big and growing,” McKee says. “As artistic director, my primary focus is to keep us moving forward in Perpetual Motion and not become stagnant! We bring in new artists and we create new work while keeping true to our history.”

Perpetual Motion will include a pre-show event with live music by Mal Nombre and free refreshments beginning at 7PM for ticket holders. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at gocontemporarydance.com or at STUDIO ARTS for dancers, 865-539-2475. Tickets can be picked up at STUDIO ARTS or will call at the TN Amphitheatre.

Welcome to Sanger Ships LLC and our two Columbus replica ships - our original Niña, the most historically accurate replica of a Columbus Ship ever built, and our newer Pinta.

The Niña is a replica of the ship on which Columbus sailed across the Atlantic on his three voyages of discovery to the new world beginning in 1492. Columbus sailed the tiny ship over 25,000 miles. That ship was last heard of in 1501, but the new Niña has a different mission. We are a floating museum, and we visit ports all over the Western Hemisphere.

Pinta was recently built in Brazil to accompany the Nina on all of her travels. She is a larger version of the archetypal caravel and offers larger deck space for walk-aboard tours and has a 40 ft air conditioned main cabin down below with seating. Pinta is available for private parties and charters.

Both The Niña and Pinta will be touring together as a new and enhanced ‘sailing museum’, for the purpose of educating the public and school children on the ‘caravel’, a Portuguese ship used by Columbus and many early explorers to discover the world.
