Mission: To celebrate Knoxville TN’S outdoors – from trails to rocks to rivers. Along with our community partners, we aim to bring people outside, promoting health and adventure for all.

Profits from this event will go towards supporting outdoor resources in the Knoxville Community.

Outlandish much?

outdoor adventure packed with live music, daring spectacles, and the untamed beauty of Knoxville’s trails, rivers, and wild spaces. Go over the moon and into the woods!
