South Knoxville Alliance

Save the date for Saturday South

Saturday South is a day of fabulous, free fun for everyone in the heart of South Knoxville. This unique series of events will highlight the best that our local businesses have to offer, as well as our unparalleled parks and green space.

The first Saturday South will be held on September 13th and will feature Ijams Nature Center with a hike through the Urban Wilderness organized by Trek South.

More daring participants will have the option to participate in K-Town Races, the South Knoxville Alliance’s own version of the “Amazing Race”. The race will take “adventurers” through the heart of South Knoxville where they will visit selected merchant locations. At those locations, they will have the option of performing a “detour” activity or purchasing an “express pass”. Contestants will return their game piece at the end of the race, and it will be entered into a drawing for a prize.

Join us at Ijam's Nature Center at noon for a concert in the park and a vestival- highlighting South Knoxville's local artisans, merchants, and street performers!

Not up for a hike or race? While these activities take place, local food, craft, and activity vendors will be featured at the park- producing a carnival like atmosphere. The day will wind down with a free concert in the park and the K-Town Races awards ceremony. You won’t want to miss it!
