Want to get involved?

The South Knoxville Alliance is spearheading an effort to promote all of South Knoxville with upcoming 2nd Saturday South events on Oct. 8, Nov. 12 and Dec. 10. Businesses are offering special discounts and neighborhoods are also encouraged to participate.

Could you offer a guided hike in the Urban Wilderness? Are you selling your home and want to host an open house? Are you looking for the perfect date for a trash clean up or a block party?

Email your ideas on how your business or neighborhood can be included in Oct., Nov. and Dec. to news@soknoxalliance.org.
