Knoxville — It definitely doesn't feel like spring, but it will sound like it this weekend for the annual Rhythm N' Blooms music festival.
Dozens of musicians and bands will perform at indoor and outdoor stages scattered around the historic Old City starting 5 p.m. Friday and continuing through Sunday.
Headliners include Dr. Dog, The Mowgli's, and two American Idol contestants; David Francisco from the show's current season, and Laurel Wright, who competed in 2016.
The festival's Cripple Creek main stage sits underneath the exit ramp of James White Parkway.
Even if you didn't purchase tickets to the festival, there are other ways you can enjoy Dogwood Arts like touring the trails and open gardens and visiting a student guitar design exhibition at Awaken Coffee.
