Old Fashioned Christmas Fair
Old Fashioned Christmas Fair
Don’t miss the free Christmas craft fair happening this weekend, November 19 and 20.
Start by quieting your hunger with something from one of the food or dessert trucks on the front lawn. PetWorks will have adoptable animals on site – could you give one a home for Christmas?
Our Christmas Elves will direct you in to shop over 40 local craft artisans with handmade items such as pottery, jewelry, baskets, crochet, quilts, soaps/lotions, wood signs and crafts, woven items, country crafts, handmade greeting cards, Christmas ornaments and décor, pet treats, vintage items, baked goods and unique items you can’t find anywhere else!
Music will fill the air in the atrium, helping keep spirits bright and shoppers festive. Bring the kiddos! Kids can create Christmas ornaments, decorate cookies and paint rocks in the lounge.
Shoppers can enjoy nutcracker excerpts by the Kingsport Ballet.
Don’t forget to get a bag of the famous Senior Center popcorn and cotton candy provided by Brookdale while you’re here!
The Old Fashioned Christmas Fair is sure to get you in the holiday spirit. We hope you’ll join us!

About the City of Kingsport
Founded in 1917, the City of Kingsport (pop. 53,000) 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. The city is widely known as a planned community, designed by renowned city planner John Nolen and wrapping around the foot of Bays Mountain – a 3,500-acre park, nature preserve, planetarium and observatory. Kingsport is recognized as an International Safe Community by the National Safety Council, a Healthier Tennessee community, and won the 2009 Harvard Innovations in American Government Award for its higher education initiatives. While many city names are duplicated throughout the U.S., there’s only one Kingsport – a fact that invokes community pride, known locally as the “Kingsport Spirit.”
