Knoxville Events 2026–27

Knoxville’s Market Square hosts much of the fun. Scare on the Square and Trick or Treat on the Square fill the last week of October, and the Kill the Lights Beer Festival is October 24. November brings the Christmas Fair, the Veterans Day Parade and Film Fest Knox.

From late November, Holidays on Ice skates through the season and the Regal Celebration of Lights starts things off downtown. The WIVK Christmas Parade is December 4. The year ends with New Year’s Eve at the Sunsphere, the tower left from the 1982 World’s Fair.

Dates can change, so check the event’s website before you go.
