KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — As the leaves continue changing colors and hillsides are painted in red and brown, the Knox County Parks and Recreation Department announced plans to celebrate the fall.
They said they would host their first-ever fall festival on Sunday at Tommy Schumpert Park. Organizers said there will be classic fall festival activities like hayrides and cornhole, as well as games like fishbowl toss and balloon pop that give visitors a chance to take home prizes.
The Knox County Public Library will also host crafts and storytime so families can relax while children can enjoy a book read aloud. The disc golf course at the park will also be open.
“Our recreation department has worked hard to really emphasize fun and community connectivity,” said Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs. “This is just another great event our team has put together for the public.”
Organizers also said that Sunday's event will not be the only one. They plan to turn it into an annual event, attracting hundreds of people. During its last event, the first-ever Trunk-or-Treat, around 1,000 people stopped by.
