Visit Knoxville & United Way Block Party — Market Square

Downtown Knoxville is taking lunch outside when Visit Knoxville and United Way of Greater Knoxville turn Market Square into a midday block party. The event lands squarely in the workday sweet spot, with local food, music and a chance to spend a couple of hours in the middle of the city instead of staring at another sad desk lunch. It is a special community gathering rather than a recurring market, and its central location makes it an easy meetup for downtown workers, visitors and anyone looking to start the social part of Thursday early. Come hungry, bring a friend and make the most of a Knoxville afternoon with a community-minded purpose behind it.
