Special Events
Mission Statement
Special Events is responsible for all of the annual events that take place around the city including, but not limited to, the Christmas Parade, Annual Tree Lighting, Mardi Gras Parade, Independence Day Parade, Independence Day Patriotic Program and Fireworks Display, Halloween Candy Walk, Fountain City Arts Festival, and the Miss Fountain City Scholarship Pageant.
Special Events strives to introduce new and exciting events and programs to offer to our community each year. A few years ago, then Special Events Director Kellie Cook established a "Touch a Truck" event, a "Movie Under the Stars" series for the summer as well as the upcoming "Back to School Street Dance." Kellie is now our Parks & Rec Director, but still manages this division and its staff.
If you have an idea for a new event or a suggestion to enhance our current events, please feel free to contact the Special Events Department at the contact information noted on the right side of this page.
