New Year’s Eve In Knoxville
New Year’s Eve is in three days and Knoxville has got you family friendly evening covered. In the tradition of Boston’s First Night, Knoxville is hosting its own version for the second year in a row. There are a multitude of events incorporated into First Night, most of which are predominantly indoors. All of the First Night events are family friendly and alcohol free.
The children’s festival kicks off at 3:00 PM at the East Tennessee History Center and is called Giggle. The children’s event will include a children’s musician and a storyteller. The children’s event will last until 11:00 PM but if you make it over to the Part at Market Square there is a special early kid’s countdown from 8:45 - 9:00 PM. In addition to the kid’s events there are a multitude of events for the adults including numerous music acts, dance performances, ventriloquism, comedy performances, a film festival, and the always anticipated New Year’s Eve Countdown and Ball Drop at Market Square! Advance tickets to enjoy all the events are only $10 ($15 on the day of the events).
