    Knox Pride Festival Oct

    Knoxville TN Jan 11, , Beau Knowles Knox LGBT Businesses

    Knoxville hasn't had an in-person Pride Festival in 2 years. In Knox Pride wisely decided to postpone the Knox Pride Festival due to the pandemic, then in Knox Pride opted for a Digital Online Festival, titled DigiFest which had poems, yoga, bingo, -and-comedy. I know celebrating pride and being proud isn't just one day or now 3 days a year, but it will be nice to earn out to notice our "Community Family" together again. ~Beau
