PARKING

The Festival takes place in the heart of the Old City in downtown Knoxville. The parking in the Old City is limited but there are an abundance of options to parking in the downtown area. We are partnering with Knoxville Area Transit Services to run a free Rhythm N’ Blooms Trolley route throughout the festival that will take riders from various parking garages in downtown and deliver them right to the front of the festival entrance. See the Trolley and parking map below.
