Knoxville First Fridays
It was really impressive-- hundreds of Knoxville residents braving the cold on Feb. 1 to explore art and shops and food around downtown. Apparently this was the fourth "First Friday" and from the crowd I saw, it won't be the last.
For some reason the KAT website has this adequate description of what First Fridays are about:
"On the first Friday of each month, shops and art galleries in the downtown Knoxville area (Gay Street and Market Square)
keep their doors open to the public until late in the evening,
offering complimentary food and entertainment,
as well as the chance for those who work until 5 p.m.
to come explore downtown Knoxville."
The next one is (obviously) in March, on the 7th. I won't be able to go (I'll be in Austin for SXSW), but I'm hoping to catch all of the rest this year-- as should everyone else interested in seeing a vibrant, active downtown Knoxville.
The pic is from Unarmed Merchants, a nice store with international goods sitting next to Nama.
