A popular annual Christmas tradition returns for the first time since 2019 with the Blount Mansion Holiday Open House coinciding with the annual downtown Christmas Parade. Blount Mansion will be festooned with seasonal decorations created by The Knoxville Garden Club, and the adjacent circa-1818 Craighead-Jackson House also will feature festive adornments. Volunteers from the craft school also will create historical handicrafts. The event is free and open to the public.
