🎶 Welcome to Concerts For Our Own
Four Years. Countless Moments. One Community.
Some of the best memories are made outdoors. A favorite song drifting across the lawn. Friends gathered in camp chairs. Families dancing beneath the lights. A community coming together for something bigger than itself.
For the past four years, Concerts For Our Own has proudly created those moments right here in Knoxville — bringing live music and local purpose together in a way that feels personal, welcoming, and unforgettable.
Every concert supports local nonprofits and community causes, turning great nights into meaningful impact. And while the artists may headline the stage, it’s the people of this community who truly make these events special.
Thank you for being part of the journey. We’re just getting started.
“The best music is played on the breeze of an open sky.”
Welcome to the 2026
Camp Chairs & Concerts Series
Concerts For Our Own is proud to launch the 2026 Camp Chairs & Concerts Series — now bringing live music to the beautiful World’s Fair Park Performance Lawn in the heart of downtown Knoxville.
For four unforgettable seasons, CFOO has united artists, audiences, and purpose beneath the open sky while supporting local nonprofits and community causes across East Tennessee. What began as a passion for music and community has grown into a shared tradition of unforgettable nights, meaningful impact, and memories made together.
This season promises to be our biggest yet, featuring exciting live performances, community-centered events, and special evenings that bring Knoxville together through music, celebration, and purpose.
So grab your camp chair, gather your friends and family, and join us on the lawn for an incredible new season under the Knoxville skyline.
Because the best concerts aren’t just heard.
They’re shared.

Where Music Meets Mission in East Tennessee.
Concerts For Our Own exists to bring people together through live music while
giving back to the community we call home. Through thoughtfully produced
concerts and community partnerships, we raise funds for local nonprofits, create shared experiences that inspire connection, and use music as a force for good in East Tennessee.
Concerts For Our Own
We believe live music is more than entertainment — it’s a connector that inspires generosity and builds belonging. Our events are designed to feel open, accessible, and respectful — where everyone belongs on the lawn, in the crowd, and in the cause.
Grassroots & Heart-Led
Fueled by volunteers, supported by sponsors, and powered by passion — CFOO remains proudly community-driven.
Music With a Mission
We use the joy of live music to give back to the community we call home.
Supporting Local Charities
In just three years, we’ve raised nearly $83,000 for local East Tennessee nonprofits — supporting organizations that work quietly behind the scenes but make a real and lasting impact every single day.
A Special Thank You to Our 2025 Charity Partners
Each year, Concerts For Our Own is honored to partner with local nonprofits that make a real and lasting difference in the lives of East Tennesseans. Our concerts may bring the music — but these organizations bring the heart.
In 2025, we were proud to support three extraordinary charities whose compassion and commitment strengthen our community every day:
The Love Kitchen – Providing food, clothing, and emergency assistance to Knoxville’s most vulnerable residents, ensuring that no one in our community goes hungry or forgotten.
Breast Connect – Empowering women facing a breast cancer diagnosis through education, emotional support, and vital resources that help them navigate their journey with courage and confidence.
Choice Health Network – Delivering compassionate care and essential health services that promote wellness, dignity, and hope across East Tennessee and beyond.
Your support of Concerts For Our Own directly fuels the life-changing work of these incredible organizations. Together, we’re turning up the volume on hope, healing, and community connection.
