Charter Bus to Market Square
Market Square has been Knoxville's center since the farmers' market era — the pedestrian plaza is ringed by restaurants (Tomato Head, Tupelo Honey), boutiques, and the stage where buskers perform. Kids run the splash fountains; the square hosts free concerts, movies and the twice-weekly farmers market in season. It's the city's living room.
