Niswonger Children’s Hospital has sponsored the Kids Central activity area for the past 13 years during Fun Fest.
The event is two days of fun for kids! It encourages outdoor play with educational/fun activities.
Children can enjoy outdoor play, educational “fun shops”, stage performances and the Indian Path Community Hospital “Exreme Challenge.”
The goal is to reach children and parents in a fun and safe way so they can experience the benefits of physical activity and healthy eating. The activities are completely free and we allow other family oriented non-profits to promote their programs to our audience. During Kids Central we have 1000+ children per day who attend this event.
Also happening on Monday at 3 is the Spin, Sprint, Splash Kids Triathlon and on Tuesday, get ready for Splash Dance at 5 PM.
Kids Central takes place at V.O. Dobbins Sr. Community Center.

A calendar has been created called the This is Kingsport events calendar which will serve as a non-public forum to provide citizens with information about social and organizational gatherings held within the city. The city will disseminate information to the public through this online calendar about social and organizational gatherings which are conducted or promoted by community partners with which the city currently has partnership agreements. Additionally, social or organizational gatherings held on city owned property to which the public at large is invited will be published on this calendar.
Each year the city enters into partnership agreements with multiple community partners some of whom in turn support the city by organizing events or promoting events of members and affiliates. By creating a common source for the dissemination of information about community events the city will be furthering its support of those community partners which in turn support the city. Moreover, the city wishes to and will benefit from highlighting gatherings which will be of benefit and enjoyment to the public.
Community partners may communicate their events or those which they promote to the city which will disseminate the information through the event calendar. Furthermore, the city of Kingsport will publish on the calendar those community events which are held on city property. In order to achieve the city’s goals only those events described herein will be published on the This is Kingsport event calendar which will be curated by city staff.
