KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Four bands got scary creative for Halloween Saturday to put on a show in South Knoxville.
The Second Bell Monster Mash at Baker Creek Bottoms was Knoxville's first-ever drive-in music festival. Each car got their own spot, along with an additional open space to enjoy dancing and live music in a socially distant way.
Many people said this was their first time hearing live music since the pandemic began, and they were glad it could happen.
"This is so amazing. It's breathing life back into the artists. It's breathing life back into the community, and it's reciprocal. Everyone is so excited that it's alive, it's well and there's a platform for it, there's a stage for it," event staff Jennifer Brown said.
Helping to cut down on lines, the festival even had a cart that would bring drinks to the audience's car. At the end of the night, they held a silent disco.
