About The Picnic

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 Local Lore, and have the opportunity to bid on plein air paintings of the Park from local artists.

Picnic Baskets & Tickets

Guests may purchase an alcohol-included or non-alcohol ticket and bring their own meal, or choose a basket package which includes a meal for two from a local restaurant and two alcohol-included tickets. Online basket and ticket sales open May 15th. Stay tuned for this year’s restaurant lineup!
