Greetings from Downtown Kingsport!
 

This year we are celebrating Main Street and our Downtown with the first
Main Street Festival in Downtown Kingsport! We are lucky to be
partnering with the Localpalooza Music Festival that will be showcasing
15 bands of multiple genres of music. On Saturday, September 17, 2011,
the place to be is on Main Street in Downtown Kingsport. Throughout the
day, there will be activities and fun for kids of all ages, merchants
and vendors from the region, and much more! One of the highlights of
this festival will be an amateur baking contest of pies, cakes, cupcakes
and breads.

If you are interested in finding out more about this event, becoming a
sponsor or a vendor, please call us at 423-246-6550 or check us out on
the web at www.downtownkingsport.org.
If you would like to become a vendor at this year's event, email stacey@downtownkingsport.org, and we'll email you a vendor application promptly. Feel free to pass it on to others that you think may be interested.

www.MoveToKingsport.com is located on the Tennessee-Virginia border at the crossroads of I-81 and I-26 near the geographic center of the Eastern U.S. This city of 50,000 in a metro of 308,000, was planned by renowned American planner John Nolen in his office at Harvard Square. Located in the lush green foothills of the Tennessee Valley, it is surrounded by the Southern Highlands and mountain lakes. Kingsport is home to Marriott’s www.MeadowViewResort.com and thousands of acres of unique, natural amenities at Bays Mountain and Warriors Path Parks. The natural geography provides a temperate, well-balanced climate with four seasons and a natural shelter from extreme weather. Population growth has also been well-balanced, ensuring you will not outgrow your decision to relocate. With no personal property taxes, special assessments, or state income taxes on salaries/wages, you’ll find that Kingsport has a very low cost of living coupled with an exceptionally high quality of life (see for yourself at www.BestPlaces.net). The regional airport (TRI) has direct flights to Atlanta, Charlotte, Orlando and St. Pete/Clearwater with easy access, parking, and virtually no security lines. The public education system was planned by Columbia University and Newsweek has repeatedly recognized the local high school as one of the best in America. Year in and year out our graduates go on to the top colleges and universities (and without costly private school tuition fees). Harvard also recognized Kingsport in 2009 with the Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiative. What are you waiting for? It’s time to leave the high costs, traffic jams, and stress behind and discover this hidden gem.
