Dinner on Dalton 2025

Dear DKP Supporters,

We wanted to take a moment and thank you for your participation in our Dinner on Dalton Event. We raised around $20,000 in revenue for the event. AMAZING!! This monty will go towards the continuing development of Downtown King through special projects and for acquiring grants to increase our investments. We could not accomplish this with out the support of our community and for that we are deeply grateful.

Keep an eye out for upcoming pictures to be shared from this year's event!

Oktoberfest 2024

What a Night in Downtown King!

On September 21st, the heart of Downtown King came alive for Oktoberfest 2024 and WOW, what a celebration! Sammy Turner & the Dirty South Band lit up the stage with high-energy tunes that had us dancing all evening long. From local food trucks to a marketplace full of craft vendors, there was something delicious and unique for everyone.

Big thanks to King Moravian Church for turning the kids' zone into a wonderland of inflatables, face painting, and family fun!

And over at StoCo Provision, the action didn’t stop with Highland Games, a crowd-favorite costume contest, and live music that kept the vibes going into the night!

This community came out in full force, and we’re so grateful for the love, energy, and support.

Until next year!
