Presented by Engage Kingsport
On April 19, we’ll kick off the festival with “Light up the Night,” giant puppets, lanterns, art, and more!
UPDATE – Friday’s “Light up the Night” is MOVING to the Kingsport Farmer’s Market!! Due to weather, tonight’s parade and projection artwork has been moved INSIDE to the Farmer’s Market. We will start at 8 pm until 9pm. We’ll see you there with puppets and lanterns!
Then, join us April 20 from 10am-5pm for a day full of ART; iron pour, blown glass, Raku firing, family-friendly activities and performances, plus a celebration of our local galleries and public art!
