Spring is blossoming in East Tennessee and there are plenty of ways for families to get out and enjoy the season. Knoxville’s Dogwood Arts Festival is back! Activities across the area this month include a virtual Chalk Your Walk, garden tours, Dogwood trails and the arts and crafts festival. Be sure to check on the COVID-19 rules before you make any plans to attend.
In keeping with the arts theme, downtown Clinton is hosting a celebration of the arts. There will be an art walk, color run, performances and more. Best of all, this event is free. UT Gardens’ “Nature School at the Garden” will focus on the different ecosystems found at the Knoxville garden. This event is designed for children between the ages of six and 10, but all children are welcome. Registration is required. Horse Haven of Tennessee is opening its barn for a “spring fling” featuring crafts, music, food and a tack sale. Children will enjoy getting to meet some of the horses, too. Whimsy and wonder will abound as the Oak Ridge Civic Ballet Association performs the children’s classic “Alice in Wonderland.” The performance will also include excerpts from “Paquita.” Tickets will go on sale soon. However you choose to enjoy the gorgeous spring weather, we hope you and your family make some wonderful memories!
