Nightlife
Knoxville's thriving music scene encompasses everything from blues to jazz, reggae to rock, classical to country, by many of the world's most respected performers.
There's live music on tap every night at the many nightclubs in the historic Old City and Market Square areas, and live music every weekday at One Vision Plaza, Knoxville's downtown visitor center. Knoxville's free outdoor concerts and movies keep Market Square hopping in spring, summer and fall, with an eclectic mix of national and regional acts and classic family films. Also, be sure to check out the world-class live entertainment offered at the beautifully restored Tennessee Theatre.
