This year, the Bijou Jubilee is back and bigger than ever, headlined by the legendary Mavis Staples! Before Mavis lights up the Bijou stage with her powerful vocals and hits like “I’ll Take You There” and “Respect Yourself,” we’re kicking things off in our tented VIP lounge!
Pre-Show VIP Party | 5:30 to 7:30 PM
Join us as we transform Cumberland Avenue into a 1970s soul and blues club!
Party includes:
Mouthwatering brisket, ribs, and Southern sides from Wells Station BBQ
Open bar with craft cocktails mixed by Fly By NIght
Live music from Knoxville Gospel Choir and DJ Soularia
Lounge seating under the Knoxville skyline
Funky outfits encouraged!
VIP Ticket Packages include premium seating to the Mavis Staples concert following the party.
PLEASE NOTE: This add-on does not include admission to the Mavis Staples concert. A concert ticket must be purchased separately if you plan to attend the show.
