Join us for the sixth annual KingFest on Saturday, October 4, from 12 – 4 p.m.! This family-friendly fall festival will feature inflatables, pumpkin decorating, yard games, and more, along with a delicious lunch provided by Metz Catering.

Special attractions include axe throwing, balloon animals, and face painting, each sponsored by Dom Abaté with the Addington Agency. Guests can also enjoy Tornado Athletics with home Men’s & Women’s Soccer and Women’s Volleyball games, plus alumni matchups in Softball and Women’s Basketball.

The day concludes with two special events: the Athletics Hall of Fame Dinner at 6 p.m. and the Open House at the Burke Observatory at 7 p.m., where you’ll have the opportunity to explore the night sky through guided tours and telescope viewings. Together, these experiences make KingFest the perfect celebration for students, families, alumni, faculty, staff, and the greater community.

Admission is free, but registration is requested:
