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. Picnic attendees will enjoy live music from Chuckwagon, and have the opportunity to bid on a plein air painting of the Park created during the event by artist Robin Rohwer.
Picnic baskets & tickets will be available to the public on Friday, May 16th. You will have the option to purchase a basket for two from our fabulous restaurants, or buy a ticket and bring your own picnic from home. Limited VIP table or blanket setups will also be available. New this year: alcoholic beverages will be included with basket purchases or a $50 ticket. $35 tickets will be available for designated drivers and include water and sodas. No outside beverages allowed.
