Kingsport to host fall festival

The Kingsport Chamber of Commerce will be holding its annual Fall Family Festival this October, looking to bring the community together while supporting local businesses.

The outdoor event aims to highlight the natural beauty of Tennessee in the fall. For younger visitors, there will be interactive activities and games including a “Fairy Hair Station” provided by Hair Benders, an egg-on-the-spoon race, bean bag toss and ring toss. Kids can also have their faces painted or receive a balloon animal. Past editions have also included inflatables and giant carnival-style games.

For older visitors, there will be a stage featuring live entertainment such as the Center Stage Cloggers and bluegrass musicians. A photo booth sponsored by Memories Matter will provide a chance to capture. The festival area will also feature several food and drink vendors from the Kingsport community, including Marco’s Pizza, Canteen, Hot Dog Hut, and Sweet Treats Ice Cream Truck.

The Chamber of Commerce hosts the festival with the goal of promoting local businesses while providing family-friendly fun. Events like this one often use banner printing and booths to help recognize sponsors and individuals who have made major contributions.

The 2026 Family Fall Festival will take place on Cleek Farms in Kingsport on October 3. Admission is free, but interested people are encouraged to reserve a ticket in advance.
