A Knoxville Family’s Guide to September 2023

Knoxville September Family EventsThere is finally a break from the heat and you can almost feel fall in the air! September starts with a Knoxville tradition—the Tennessee Valley Fair. It showcases East Tennessee heritage, agriculture, and the arts. It runs for 10 days and offers lots to do and see. Discounted early bird tickets are available and tickets can also be purchased at the gate.  It’s not fall in Knoxville without UT football. The Tennessee Volunteers face off against Austin Peay for the first home football game of the 2023 season. Tickets are still available so act fast!  

No tickets or reservations needed for the popular Farragut Art Fest. This free event features interactive arts and crafts projects and is geared for children ages four to nine. It’s one day only to see the cult favorite movie “Hocus Pocus” at Cherokee Caverns.  A food truck will be on hand for movie snacks like hot dogs and popcorn. Chairs will also be provided, although you’re welcome to bring a blanket. Tickets are $12.00 and can be purchased online.  

Knoxville Children’s Theatre is putting on an adaptation of “Sleeping Beauty.”  Young performers will bring the classic tale to life.  It’s a great way to get your family to the theater with tickets ranging from $12.00 to $15.00.  If you’re looking for more fall fun, check out our Knoxville Moms Pumpkin Patches, Corn Mazes & More and our Apple Picking in East Tennessee & Beyond guideKnoxville Moms hopes you and your family have a wonderful start to fall!
