A Knoxville tradition
Dancing together since 2009.
Thrill The World Knoxville began as a local part of the worldwide celebration and grew into a familiar fall gathering of dancers, families, photographers, volunteers, and wonderfully committed zombies.
Across the years, the location, costumes, and faces have changed. The heart of the event has stayed the same: learn the choreography, welcome new people, and turn a public square into a dance floor.
The archive
Sixteen Knoxville performance videos.
The annual performance playlist preserves Knoxville events from 2009 through 2025, including two views of the 2023 performance. It is part scrapbook, part costume inspiration, and part proof that the horde keeps coming back.
