Music and moonlight

Kick off the weekend with Art, music, and a group full moon float or enjoy a moonlight hike – you can’t go wrong!

Join in the outlandish fun on friday night as we kick off the festivities. enjoy some bluegrass tunes from evie and the who knows and art from members of The Maker City to start the night. then choose your adventure!

join The Knoxville Adventure Collective, River Sports Outfitters, and ijams for a moonlight paddle on the Tennessee River or a moonlit hike. The paddle will leave from holston river park but enjoy a 12 minute shuttle from ijams to the launch. If you need a boat, don’t worry — we will have rentals available! (rentals must be scheduled in advance).

Paddling not for you? Take a moonlight stroll and learn about our night time friends while exploring ijams after dark on a guided hike under the full moon.
