Details

Our 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.
The museum will have activities for kids and the young at heart including face painting, sack races, watermelon seed spitting contests, three-legged races, bocce, croquet, corn hole, tug-of-war, cake walk, Victorian festival games and much more. There will be a reading of the Declaration of Independence and a historic document about the unfinished revolution of the United States.
Purchase tickets to join in a cake walk and possibly take home a delicious cake from a local bakery! And the historic house museum will open for self-guided tours.
With plenty of fun activities, you can make history with your family and friends!
We recommend buying pre-sale tickets early, as the event sells out.
A limited number of tickets will be available at the door starting at 5:00 PM on July 4th. Adult tickets at the door will cost $20.
