Get ready to unleash your inner zombie on Saturday, October 26, from 2:00 -6:00 PM, at the 2024 Knoxville Zombie Walk, a charity event for Helping Mamas Knoxville!

The event kicks off at 2:00 PM, with zombies gathering at Market Square/Scruffy City Hall.

At 3:00 PM, the Pumpkin Carving Contest will take place, followed by the Zombie Costume Contest at 3:30 PM. Be sure to bring your A-game for a chance to win!

At 4:30 PM, Greg Krucial Carney and The K-Town Ghosts and Zombies will perform, setting the tone for the big moment—the Zombie Walk, which begins at 5:00 PM. The walk will shuffle its way through Market Square, wrapping up around 6:00 PM with a special "Thrill the World" Knoxville performance to close out the festivities.

Don't miss out on this frightfully fun event for a good cause!
