Downtown Knoxville 10 Day Planner (4/16 – 4/25/2023)

Original Art by Kristen Combs, 100 Things To Do Before You Die, April 2023

If you want your event included, please make a Facebook event, invite me (Alan Sims – you’ll have to friend me) and it will be included. I need enough lead time that the list can be put together the Wednesday before you want your event included.
