Smokin' The Water July 4th Celebration

Roane County

Annually the city of Kingston hosts a July 4th celebration that draws visitors and locals alike.  It has come to be a local family tradition that includes a parade, drag boat & raft races, children's activities, classic car shows, vendors, and more.  Plan to bring your family to this day long event that will end with an exciting culmination of fireworks over the water. 

One of the most inviting elements of the Fourth of July "Smokin the Water" celebration in Kingston is the waterfront location.  The beautiful city park located directly on the waterfront provides a walking, swimming and boating location that is unparalleled.  

For information about the festivities, vending or the Miss Firecracker Pageant call Debbie Russell at 865-376-9476 or visit the Kingston city website at http://www.kingstontn.org/.
