About Us

The Loafer Magazine has been dedicated to the Tri Cities region for 30+ YEARS. We are more than a comprehensive entertainment guide. We are an indispensable weekly resource that features the sophistication of ARTS and MUSEUMS, the reverberating sounds of the music SPOTLIGHT, the excitement of the FESTIVALS and SPECIAL EVENTS, and the enrichment of FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT – Complimenting all of this with DINING and NIGHTLIFE.

 

The Loafer keeps readers in touch with all that is happening in the world of Arts and Entertainment throughout Johnson City, Kingsport, Elizabethton, Jonesborough, Bristol TN/VA, Abingdon, VA and beyond. As the only weekly alternative publication of its kind, we guide our readers in planning the perfect day, evening or weekend excursion and provide them with the content to keep them knowledgeable in all things ARTS and ENTERTAINMENT. The Loafer brings the regions’ culture to the fingertips of our readers; no more googling endless websites, no more sitting at home, and no more hearing or reading about events AFTER they happen.
