If you are looking for fun things to do in Knoxville TN how about paying a visit to the Downtown Knoxville area. Over the past couple of years the City of Knoxville has done quite a bit to revitalize the Downtown Knoxville area. Many of the old buildings have been converted into stylish downtown residential areas causing more and more businesses to move downtown as well.
One of my personal favorite hot spots is Market Square. Market square, located in the center of Downtown Knoxville (runs from Wall Avenue to Union Avenue and located directly behind Gay Street) is closed off to traffic and contains a myriad of quaint boutiques and shops including Bliss and Earth to Old City as well as a variety of restaurants, cafes, and bars including- Oodles Uncorked, Tomato Head, Shonos', Koi Asian Bistro, La Costa, and the Preservation Pub just to name a few.
Market Square is named after the old Market House which was located in the center of the existing square. The Market House served as a place for local farmers to gather to sell and trade their goods. The bell from the old Market House is located at the far Southern portion of Market Square next to the TN Women’s' Sufferage Monument.
Market Square offers lots of seasonal activities and events such as: Holiday on Ice- ice skating on the Square, Christmas in the City, Rossini Festival, Sundown in the City, Autumn on the Square, Market Square Film Festival, Farmer's Market, water play fountains, as well as a variety of music festivals and art events such as Shakespeare on the Square.
Market Square in Knoxville TN is a great place to come both day (meter and paid garage parking, or ride the trolley) and night (free parking after 6 in all downtown area garages) and offers a wonderful location to watch events, shop, eat, or just take your dog for a walk.
