Knoxville Prepares for Festive Cheer with Beer Festivals and Events
Knoxville City is known for its lively spirit and hospitable ambiance, and nothing embodies this spirit more than its extensive schedule of festivals and events. Adding to the festive air, The Knoxville City Council’s Beer Board recently approved more than two dozen requests for beer permits.
Festivities approved for Beer Permits
Chairwoman Lauren Rider led the board meeting this Tuesday, navigating the board through the many requests in less than an hour’s time. While the majority of the applicants associate themselves with convenience stores and dining establishments, there was a fair share of requests for special event permits as well.
The applicants ranged from non-profit organizations to businesses, all coming prepared with properly filled applications and meeting various requirements, such as giving up their previous licenses, ensuring server training, or getting health department inspections.
Highlight of the Approved Events
A notable permit granted was for David Hearnes of Blount Mansion, who presented an exciting “Summer BBQ” celebration scheduled for July 27. Event highlights include bluegrass music, tasty BBQ, smooth bourbon, and of course, beer.
Meanwhile, Robin Roberts Promotion LLC obtained a permit for the Salty Dog Seafood Festival slated for July 19-21. Marjorie Davenport, the event manager, successfully presented their application to the board.
A nod of approval was also given to the Hazen Historical Museum Foundation, who are eager to host an “Old Fashioned July 4th ” event. Also, joining the list of approved permits was Hola Hora Latina, an organization planning the much-anticipated HoLa Festival at the World’s Fair Park on September 21-22, represented by Roger Roark.
Looking Forward
With a bright festive lineup complimented by these recently approved beer permits, both locals and tourists are set for an engaging and enjoyable time in the city. The board’s decision reflects Knoxville’s commitment to promoting local businesses and fostering community engagement through such events. The approved events are not only fun-filled and entertaining but also cater to various interests, thus encapsulating the diverse spirit of Knoxville.
As residents and visitors alike look forward to these gatherings, Knoxville City promises a season of celebration, camaraderie, and conviviality.
