Welcome to Knoxville, TN!
Knoxville has played a major role in the history of Tennessee with the city having twice been the state capital. Although Nashville now boasts the title, Knoxville continues to provide a vibrant atmosphere that is further enhanced by the large University of Tennessee student body that calls the city home during their studies. Boasting a plethora of attractions, recreational opportunities and annual events, Knoxville satiates the desires of all. Whether searching for unique shops in the Old City Historic District or viewing modern and contemporary art at the Art Gallery of Knoxville, this city is alive with culture. Recreational enthusiasts appreciate the city's close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which is a haven for those wishing to birdwatch, hike or camp. Annual festivals, such as the Dogwood Arts Festival in April and the 10-day Tennessee Valley Fair in September, keep locals and visitors entertained throughout the year.
