Kingsport’s Parks and Recreation Department is hosting a one-day Glow Nerf Battle later this month (February 22) at the V.O. Dobbins, Sr. Complex (301 Louis Street).
The event will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and the cost is $5 per player. All participants must come prepared for battle with their own personal Nerf blaster of choice, and everyone is encouraged to wear bright, colorful clothing to glow vividly in the neon arena.
Four-thousand special glow-in-the-dark Nerf darts and eye protection will be provided for the duration of the battle. After each round, kids will empty their blasters and magazines and return to their designated area in the stands.
“Glow Nerf Battle is one of our most popular events, so we’re thrilled to be able to bring it back for the community,” said “So come out, bring your favorite blaster and be ready to battle through the evening with glowing neon colors.”
Glow events are when participants wear neon or white clothes, the lights of a gym are turned off and the black lights are turned on. Everyone then “glows” in the dark while running around and playing a game.

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.
