KNOXVILLE RESTAURANTS
Big Ears wouldn’t be possible without downtown Knoxville’s restaurants, coffee shops, and bars. The city’s world-class establishments, and the unmistakable spirit of Southern hospitality that define them, feed artists between performances, sustain staff and crews through long days, and welcome patrons gathering between shows. Their work is an essential part of the festival fabric and we’re deeply grateful for the care and effort they bring to an especially busy weekend. Stop in for a meal, be patient during the rush, and show extra appreciation to the people working hard to keep everyone fed and feeling at home.
