Courtyard by Marriott Knoxville West Bearden

The Old Gray Cemetery proves to be no ordinary resting place. It is over 150 years old and dates back to the Victorian era. Even though it is a fascinating example of cemetery planning and design, the 13 acres of beauty and history that dates back to 1850 prove to be the perfect backdrop for a serene walk along the footpath that leads you past the final resting places of some of the city's most prominent residents.

The Art Market is exactly what its title says. Local artists come from the surrounding areas to display their work. See some truly compelling pieces ranging from the contemporary to the traditional that include expressions in every medium. There's art rendered in watercolors, photography, basketry, ceramics and woodcuts, among many others. This is a great place to find a unique gift item, support local artists and celebrate their talents.

A growing number of Knoxville music lovers are going all classic, or make that classical, when they enjoy one of the many fine performances of the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra. This group of highly talented musicians works hard year round to make sure that each performance is a display of consummate musicianship and entertainment. Such presentations as All Beethoven, a special family concert, and sharing the stage with Michael Feinstein are just a few of the recent endeavors that the Knoxville Symphony Orchestra has worked on, with more unforgettable shows to come. Don't miss a note!
