VIP Sponsor Party | 10:30 a.m.
Second Line Parade | 11:45 a.m.
Brunch and Live Auction | 12:00 p.m.
The VIP Sponsor Party kicks off at 10:30 a.m. for sponsors and $250/person ticketholders with glittery champagne, bloody marys, mimosas, passed appetizers from Gourmet’s Market (so, yes, there will be candied bacon!), and music by a duo from the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra.
At 11:45, the parade sponsor and anyone else who wants to participate will line up for a Second Line Parade led by students from the UT College of Music. If you don’t want to march (dance?) along the short parade route, please join the fun as a spectator along Jackson Avenue. The band will lead everyone into the brunch space at noon.
The fun continues from 12:00-2:00 p.m. with a three-course seated low country brunch, music by a quartet from the Knoxville Jazz Orchestra, more festive brunch beverages, some fun surprises, and the presentation of the Spirit of East Tennessee Award. Emcee & auctioneer Dino Cartwright will then conduct a live (& lively!) auction of a few unique, exclusive experiences.
