KingFest, held annually in October at King Central Park, includes a stage devoted to regional music, featuring 50's, oldies, bluegrass and gospel music. Also included in the day's events are arts and crafts, children's activities, a bike race, a youth fishing tournament, community-prepared country food, heritage demonstrations, classic car show, cake bake-off and prize drawings. Admission is free and parking is adequate for bus tours.

King Central Park is a 17-acre municipal park, with paved walking trails; a stocked fish pond; picnic shelters; restored log houses of early area settlers; and a natural amphitheater. An arched, covered, wooden stage stands at the base of a large open grassy knoll. The amphitheater is accessible by paved paths, although the terrain is hilly. There is plenty of room for people to spread blankets and set up lawn chairs and have space for children to play.
