Calendar of Events

9th Board Game Days! Thursday, July 25, at 5:00 PM through
Sunday, July 28, 8:00 PM.
Board Game Days is a convention for hobby gamers, game designers, playtesters, and so much more.

Awaken Coffee, 125 West Jackson Avenue.

If you are new to this type of event or you're somewhat familiar with conventions of this type, you can expect games, card games, board games, tabletop games, and role-playing games; either hosted by us, other gamers, a publisher perhaps, or some group that just wanted a different atmosphere. There are popular games from classic to modern titles.

One feature we do have is ongoing playtesting of games yet to be published or in the design process by aspiring designers and they want folks like you to come check out what they are working on.

Another familiar feature we have is the game library that many great conventions offer. We try to stock it with fun games and ensure everyone has a chance to play the game they want with assistance in getting started if needed. We also have Games of the Moment which is a scheduled game to ensure everyone gets a chance to play and we have play-to-wins, which are games donated by a sponsor that attendees play, afterwards putting their name down at a chance to win the game by anyone who played a full game (doesn't matter if you won or not in the game).

Finally, We have some different things going on each day. Thursday is our Design and Dine, which is geared for designers and serious gamers to exclusively playtest games and give feedback. Friday is your kick-off day of afternoon-evening gaming. Saturday is our day-long event, early start, and late-night playing. And then Sunday, which ends the event with the last free give-away of goodies from our sponsors.

This summer, KHP will mark and celebrate the 100th anniversary of when Knoxville leaders and outdoor enthusiasts took an inspirational idea by Annie Davis and created a remarkable grassroots movement to establish a new national park in the Great Smoky Mountains. We’ll tell the stories of the Knoxville civic leaders, conservationists and trailblazers who led pioneering efforts, against all odds, to make the national park a reality. This multi-day event will include screenings at the Bijou Theatre, Central Cinema and a two-day symposium at the East Tennessee History Center.
