Join us for Kingsport’s annual Veterans Day Memorial Service as our community gathers to honor the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. The ceremony begins promptly at 11 a.m. on November 11—a tradition that reflects the historic armistice of World War I and the enduring gratitude we hold for those who protect our freedom.
This year’s featured speaker is Command Sergeant Major Joe Winchester, whose distinguished military service and commitment to veterans make him an inspiring voice for the occasion. Musical selections will be performed by the Liberty Celebration Choir, bringing heartfelt tribute through song.
The event is free and open to the public. A full program of events will be released soon.
Come stand with us in remembrance, reflection, and appreciation for all who have served.
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.
