Who’s been enjoying the lovely spring weather? It’s great right? Let’s just hope it continues… The recent change in climate inspired me to do a post on a weekend stay cation. There isn’t much I really like about Knoxville, but around spring time it’s more bearable. Market Square usually always has something going on. Enjoy my picks, have a wonderful weekend and get outside!

GO

Anyone in the Knoxville area looking for a fun, free event should checkout the Dogwood Arts Festival. They have events happening throughout April! (image)

EAT

Grab your girl friends (and/or guy friends) and try out Market Square’s newest restaurant addition, Tupelo Honey Cafe. (image)

STAY

The Cook Loft in Downtown Knoxville sleeps eight and is in within walking distance of Market Square and the Bijou theater. (image)

SHOP

Bliss has arguably the best selection of stylish, quirky clothes in Knoxville. Their home store is also to die for. (image)

SEE

Of course, it wouldn’t be a staycation in Knoxville without going to the Smokys for a day hike. (image)
