Jackson Terminal

With over a century of history etched into its brick walls, oversized wooden doors, and exposed rafters, Jackson Terminal brings a uniquely rustic charm to Big Ears. Originally built in the 1880s as a freight depot for the East Tennessee, Virginia, and Georgia Railroad, this storied venue offers an atmospheric setting that’s both intimate and grand—a perfect space to experience unforgettable performances in the heart of Knoxville.

213 W Jackson Ave.
