What’s happening

Events at Stone’s Throw Coffee

Events at Stone’s Throw will include drag shows, book clubs, open mics, workshops, craft nights, vendor markets, study nights, community meetups, author readings, poetry, and sober-friendly gatherings — planned for our future South Knoxville shop once we open.

We also feature local creators year-round — see the artists, authors, and makers on our Local Art & Makers page, or apply to be featured.

Upcoming events

The calendar is warming up

Drag shows, book clubs, open mics, workshops, craft nights, vendor markets, and community meetups are all part of the vision for Stone’s Throw. We’re booking our first events now — dates will land here first, and by email once our list is live.

Are you a local author, musician, poet, or artist who wants to be part of it? Apply to be featured or pitch an event.
