About Chilhowee Park

Chilhowee Park, also known as Chilhowee Park & Exposition Center, is a multi-purpose public park and exposition complex owned and operated by the City of Knoxville. Located at 3301 E Magnolia Ave in East Knoxville, the site developed as a public park and resort in the late 19th century and later hosted the 1910 Appalachian Exposition and the 1913 National Conservation Exposition.

The venue hosts fairs and expositions, festivals, concerts, trade and consumer shows, community events, and outdoor gatherings. Its anchor annual event is the Tennessee Valley Fair, a multi-day fair with rides, exhibits, entertainment, and a longstanding place in Knoxville’s event calendar.

Chilhowee Park is known for its mix of open green space, a lake, a bandstand, and historic exhibition buildings including the Jacob Building.

Getting Ready for Your Chilhowee Park Event

Once your tickets are confirmed, a few practical steps make your visit run significantly smoother — especially at a venue with substantial outdoor grounds.

• Download your tickets before you leave. Save your tickets to your phone's wallet or screenshot them before departing so you're ready at the entrance without needing a signal.
• Charge your phone fully. Digital ticketing is standard, and your phone is your entry. A portable battery pack is worth having for a full evening.
• Arrive early. Give yourself extra time for major events like the Tennessee Valley Fair, when parking and the Magnolia Avenue approach see heavier congestion.
• Wear the right footwear. Chilhowee Park involves outdoor walking across park grounds, so comfortable, supportive shoes are advisable for events held outside.
• Dress in layers. Because the venue includes substantial outdoor space, weather exposure can affect your visit. Dress for the conditions at outdoor events.
• Build extra time into your transit plan. Major events can create heavier traffic near E Magnolia Avenue, especially as crowds arrive and leave.
• Check the bag policy in advance. Reviewing the venue's guidelines before packing prevents delays at security.
