“We are happy announce a new event series hosted by our Parks and Recreation department that is sure to be one of the biggest events of the summer,” County Mayor Glenn Jacobs said. “Folks from here and across the region love these events, and it’s a good chance to have a picnic, and check out our parks, which are some of the nicest places in the area.”

You can bring lawn chairs, blankets and food — but no alcohol is allowed. In case of bad weather, check the parks department's Facebook and Twitter pages for updates. https://www.facebook.com/knoxcountyparks/
