Drag Queen Show Knoxville: Diva Royale near Market Square
Knoxville — the Marble City, the "Scruffy City," the home of Rocky Top and the Tennessee Volunteers — sits where the Great Smoky Mountains meet the Tennessee River, and its entertainment scene runs just as deep as the surrounding ridgelines. Diva Royale is bringing its celebrity impersonation drag show to East Tennessee's finest city, where Market Square serves as the beating heart of downtown nightlife and the Old City entertainment district keeps things interesting long after midnight. Whether you're starting the evening with cocktails on Market Square, bar-hopping through Gay Street, or kicking off a bachelorette weekend near the University of Tennessee campus, Diva Royale is the most fabulous stop in the Volunteer State. Vol Nation knows what it means to be loud and proud on Saturdays — now it's time for Diva Nation to take the stage every weekend in the Scruffy City.
