SUMMARY:Bristol Sessions Festival
DESCRIPTION:Twelve Nights. One Story.\nOne night per month. Every third Friday. Twelve chapters of a story that connects the 1927 recordings to the living\, breathing music culture of Appalachia today. \nThe series is structured as a three-act arc. \nAct 1 returns to the origin: the recordings\, the Carter Family\, Jimmie Rodgers\, and the raw sound that started everything. \nAct 2 traces the evolution: bluegrass\, the pickers\, the women who shaped the genre\, and the holiday traditions of the mountains. \nAct 3 builds toward the centennial: next-generation songwriters\, outlaw country\, and the echoes of Bristol’s lasting impact on American music. \nEach night stands on its own. Together\, they build something bigger: a community that’s been rehearsing this celebration for an entire year. \nMORE INFO>>>

SUMMARY:27th Annual Holiday Festival of Lights at the Cove
DESCRIPTION:December 1 to 30 from 6 to 9 p.m.\, excluding Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.\nThe Cove’s three-quarter-mile greenway trail transforms into a sparkling light display coordinated to music.\n\n“This event has been one of my favorite holiday traditions\,” Mayor Jacobs said. “There’s nothing better than watching families take in the lights\, sip some hot chocolate\, and enjoy the season together. I’ve always been honored to kick off the festival and soak in all the holiday magic.” The festival is free and open to the public although visitors are encouraged to bring nonperishable food items to donate to The Love Kitchen\, which provides meals\, clothing\, and emergency food packages for the homebound\, homeless\, and unemployed. The event will run each night from 6 to 9 p.m. through Wednesday\, Dec. 30\, excluding Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. During the Festival\, The Cove’s three-quarter-mile greenway trail transforms into a sparkling light display coordinated to music. The Knox County Parks and Recreation Department’s staff decorate the park\, placing displays and thousands of lights. Several fire pits are available to keep warm or roast s’mores; and leashed pets are always welcome to join the fun. Train rides are on Mondays only. The festival will also feature “Santa’s Workshop” activity stations along the train route\, giving guests an opportunity to participate in fun activities while taking in the lights and atmosphere. A concession stand will offer hot chocolate\, pizza\, hot dogs\, nachos\, popcorn\, and other seasonal favorites throughout the month. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/knoxcountyparks
