Calendar of Events

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! Sponsored by Daylight to Dark and Tennessee Macabre, this spooky gathering will take place at Scruffy City Hall on October 26th. Participants are encouraged to bring a donation to join in on the undead fun.

The event kicks off at 2:00 PM, with zombies gathering at Market Square/Scruffy City Hall. If you arrive early, you'll have the chance to get zombified by a makeup artist, making sure you're perfectly ghoulish for the day. 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!

This is our sixth annual event, and we are thrilled to continue the tradition of bringing the community together to support Mane Support, a non-profit organization that provides equine-assisted grief counseling for children, adults, and families in East Tennessee. Mane Support’s work helps those who have experienced grief and trauma heal through the unique bond between humans and horses. During the event, you’ll also have the chance to meet some of our beloved therapy horses, including Elvis, Skylar, Ricky Bobby, and more.

Tickets are $15 per person or $30 for families, and all proceeds go directly to benefit Mane Support.

We hope to see you there for an evening of delicious chili, entertainment, and heartfelt support for a great cause!
