Old-fashioned Fourth of July celebration at Mabry-Hazen House
June 12, 2022

Gather at Mabry-Hazen House from 5-10 p.m. to celebrate Independence Day, the Declaration of Independence, and community. Enjoy great views, good food and beer, live music, fun games, great company and tours of the 1858 house. Bring your lawn chairs and blankets and spread out on our 7 acres of greenspace near downtown and right off I-40.

The event recalls the spirit of 19th century Independence Day celebrations when communities gathered for patriotic revelry and enjoyment. Overlooking downtown Knoxville to the west and the Great Smoky Mountains to south, historic Mabry's Hill enjoys a spectacular view of the fireworks presented by the City of Knoxville and revelers around the city and county. Take it easy with this laid-back celebration. It is the perfect time to come chill on the hill! Take in the surrounding natural beauty and history. Savor food from Dia De Foods, and other food trucks. Quench your thirst with beverages from Xul Beer Co. and other local breweries.

There will also be several activities for kids and the young at heart including sack races, watermelon seed spitting contests, three-legged races, bocce, croquet, corn hole, and much more.

Tinca Tinca will bring their retro-futuristic indie-rock and electronic sound for attendees to groove and enjoy.

There will be a reading of the Declaration of Independence.
