SUPPORT KINGSPORT FARMERS MARKET VENDORS
The opening of the Farmers Market  is delayed, but you can still get your fresh produce and help support the vendors!

Click here for a list of vendors that will be making deliveries, taking orders, selling from their farm, and offering CSA shares.
Now is the time to look after one another, but from a safe distance. As we continue being socially distant,  Visit Kingsport is encouraging neighbors to step out on their porch or yard each night at 6 p.m. to wave to your neighbors. 

We are all in this fight together -- so get outside and say hello (a safe six feet away!).
Spread the word to your neighbors and share your videos and photos of your Kingsport Neighborhood Wave in the comments below or by using  #KingsportStrong!
