Check out the June family events!
There’s a lot to celebrate this month including Independence Day! The City of Knoxville is bringing back the popular Waldo Scavenger Hunt in downtown. Knoxville Moms put together a great guide so you know all the Waldo things before you go. The scavenger hunt lasts the entire month, so there is plenty of time to get out and enjoy it. But you should act fast if you want to see sunflower season at its peak. Nightfall Acres in Philadelphia is hosting Sunflower Fest throughout most of July. It’s the perfect spot to take them in. You’ll be able to walk the paths of sunflowers, pick your own and enjoy food, games and farm fun for the kids. Hippie Day as Sunflower Fest is an especially fun time to visit Nightfall Acres. There will be vendors, food trucks and activities. Knoxville Moms also has a complete list of sunflower fields in East Tennessee for you to visit.
Giant puppets will soon be on parade in Knoxville! The Knoxville Museum of Art is hosting the event to celebrate the art of puppets. It’s the conclusion of the “Wayne White: Revenge of the Knoxville Girl” exhibit.You’ll be able to make your own puppet and even join the parade. The parade will wind through the museum grounds and end inside with a puppet dance party. Admission to the Knoxville Museum of Art is always free and so is this event.
The family-friendly musical “Hairspray: The Musical” is coming to the Bijou Theatre. The WordPlayers are bringing the Tony award winning show to life. “Hairspray” is jam packed with laughter, romance and lots of fun songs. You can purchase tickets in advance here.
