Have a Blast with the Past! in Downtown Knoxville. Join the East Tennessee Historical Society for an one-of-a-kind celebration of our region’s history! Participants representing the people, places, and events that shaped our past spill out of the East Tennessee History Center and fill downtown Knoxville, making history truly come alive!

Board a bus and tour Knoxville’s historic homes. Sit a spell in front of the Main Stage, listening to traditional music that has long been the soundtrack to our lives. All for FREE!
