KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A three-day urban adventure is taking place in Knoxville this weekend.
The first annual Outdoor Knoxfest kicked off on Friday. There are lots of activities whether you're an outdoor expert or not. A fishing tournament, trail race and urban adventure race are planned. The entire community is invited to come on Saturday and play at the outdoor Knoxville Adventure Center in downtown.
Laura Jones with Outdoor Knoxfest explained why it's so important. "It shows you what we're doing in Knoxville with the green space as far as conservation and we're bringing recreation to the community, so that we can get more people outdoors to play."
Outdoor Knoxfest benefits the Legacy Parks Foundation.
