March 10, 2025 - Open Streets Knoxville Cancelled
With a heavy heart, Bike Walk Knoxville must announce the cancellation of Open Streets Knoxville 2025. Due to unforeseen complications and challenges beyond our control, the event is no longer feasible for our organization to host this year. We are so grateful to all our wonderful community partners for their support of this event, and look forward to bringing fun back to Knoxville’s streets in 2026.
December 14, 2024 - Tour de Lights
On Saturday, December 14th Bike Walk Knoxville collaborated with Visit Knoxville to host Tour de Lights, our annual free, family-friendly holiday bike ride. People gathered before and after the ride for a Holiday Market & Expo featuring a costume contest, food trucks, local crafts, music, and more! The ride was larger than ever, with over 3,000 estimated participants. Tour de Lights is one of our favorite events of the year and we’re excited to return for the 19th Tour de Lights in 2025!
