A Knoxville Family’s Guide to August 2024

Knoxville August Family EventsSchool is starting across East Tennessee but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop! August is jam-packed with family-friendly activities. Make the short drive to Lenoir City for an epic Touch-A-Truck event. There will be police cars, fire trucks, construction vehicles and many more. Food trucks, live music and free inflatables will also be on hand. If you miss this Touch-a-Truck event, Farragut is hosting “Fun with Farragut’s Fleet” later in the month.  This year a children’s entrepreneur market will be included with the activities.

“Pete the Cat” fans in Knoxville will be rockin’ in their school shoes this month. The Knox County Public Library is hosting original “Pete the Cat” author Eric Litwin for a special concert. The event is free and open to the public. Knoxville Children’s Theatre is performing “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.”  KCT performances are popular so be sure to purchase your tickets in advance. Celebrate Knoxville’s Irish heritage at Irish Fest on the Hill! There will be Irish food, drinks and music. Tickets are $15 for all. It’s football time in Tennessee again!  At the end of the month, the Vols will take on UT-Chattanooga for the home opener. GBO!  Knoxville Moms hopes you have a great start to your school year and have lots of family fun, too!
