❄️ BIG NEWS – New Festival Layout!
Due to year-long construction, the World’s Fair Park Amphitheater will not be available in 2026.
But we’re excited to share an amazing update!
👉 Main festival activities are moving INSIDE the air-conditioned Knoxville Convention Center!
- Performances, cultural exhibits, and educational programs will be indoors
- Asian Food Market will remain OUTSIDE at World’s Fair Park
- After enjoying delicious food, come inside to relax and enjoy performances in comfort
This change allows us to create a more comfortable, dynamic, and accessible festival experience for everyone.
