Knoxville’s biggest celebration of arts, culture, and community returns! The Rossini Festival International Street Fair transforms downtown Knoxville into a European-style street party with two full days of music, food, art, and family fun.
Opera lovers and first-timers alike can enjoy free performances by local and regional artists across multiple stages — including highlights from upcoming Knoxville Opera productions. More than 100 artisan vendors, food trucks, and cultural exhibitors fill the streets alongside wine tastings, kid-friendly activities, and live entertainment around every corner.

The Rossini Festival brings together tens of thousands of attendees to celebrate the power of the performing arts in the heart of the city.
