This area is a cool place to do fun things during the hot summer! From charming Lenoir City to the hustle and bustle of Knoxville, there are lots of ways to enjoy outdoor fun in the sun. A great example of this is Lenoir City’s Rockin' the Docks, which brings thousands together for summer days filled with music and family fun on Fort Loudon Lake. Although this event has already passed, be sure to check it out next year. It’s a great way to get to know Lenoir City. 


Another great event to put on your list for next year is the Lenoir City Arts & Crafts Festival.

This is typically held the first weekend in June. The Lenoir City Arts & Crafts Festival is a tradition in Loudon County that has garnered the respect and support of the community and the region. In the past several decades, the event has raised over $700,000, which has been used to help a number of community charities, scholarships, grants, and other local needs. An amazing event that gives back to the community!


Here are some events to put on your calendar for the remainder of the summer:
