The Lakeshore Park Picnic is a community event, bringing Knoxville together to experience incredible food and company, all in the stunning setting of Knoxville’s premier public park. The goal of the picnic is to raise funds and awareness, but there is no confusing it with a black-tie gala. It just feels like dinner al fresco with friends on a warm summer night in East Tennessee.

Spread your blanket and enjoy picnic baskets prepared by some of Knoxville’s favorite local chefs, or bring your own basket and enjoy the Park while listening to great music, catching up with your friends, and watching the sunset from the HGTV Overlook.
