The Kingsport Senior Center is hosting an open house next week to showcase the newly renovated offices and programming space within the facility.
The open house will take place on July 29 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Kingsport Renaissance Center (1200 E. Center Street). The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served (while supplies last) and Crazy Caterers will be holding a charcuterie class.
“We’re so excited about our newly renovated spaces, so we want to share them with the community,” said Kingsport Senior Center Manager Shirley Buchanan. “Our staff will be working in a better space, and our new front office aims to elevate the customer service experience to not only our senior center members, but to anyone who pays us a visit.”
The renovations included converting the old office space into a multi-purpose lounge and kitchen area with new appliances, tables and chairs. A new front office space was also created near the main entrance and features a prominent, sliding-glass window, three private offices, two front desk offices and a bullpen office.
Renovations to the Kingsport Renaissance Center began in November 2025 and wrapped up in April of this year. Funding for the project came in part from a $100,000 grant from the Tennessee Department of Disability and Aging.

The City of Kingsport is getting into the Christmas Spirit early this year by hosting a special “Christmas in July” event at the Kingsport Carousel later this month.
Children of all ages are encouraged to visit the Kingsport Carousel (320 Clinchfield Street) between 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. on July 29 and join in on the festivities.
The carousel will be festively decorated, snow will be falling in the playground, and holiday music will be playing to help get everyone in the Christmas spirit. All day long, anyone (child or adult) wearing Christmas attire will receive one free ride on the carousel and guests can enjoy free popsicles and temporary tattoos (while supplies last).
“We’re roughly six months away from Christmas, so now is the perfect time to celebrate the magic of the holidays with the magic of the carousel,” said Program Leader Cindy Turner. “We’ll have the carousel decorated, snow will be falling and treats will be given out. It’s simply going to be an exciting day for everyone.”
The Kingsport Carousel will be open from 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. on July 29. For more information about the Kingsport Carousel, please visit www.artskingsport.org.
