KINGS MOUNTAIN, N.C. – With the alarming upsurge in local COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations, our local healthcare system has become severely impacted and strained. As a result, offi cials within our Healthcare Industry have requested help from partners throughout the community to mitigate this incredibly transmissible disease. "As COVID-19 cases continue to rise and place a high level of demand and burden on our healthcare and hospital systems in Cleveland County, using layered prevention strategies is extremely important," said Tiffany Hansen, Cleveland County Health Director. "We value our partners and their continued commitment to protecting the health and safety of our community residents." After careful consideration, review of county and state data and at the recommendation of our local medical providers, the City of Kings Mountain has made the decision to postpone all currently scheduled mass gatherings including the LIVE at Patriots Park Concert and Cruise-In featuring Who's Bad, The Ultimate Michael Jackson Experience, the Great Pumpkin Parade, and Wonderful Adventure to Oz. We look forward to hosting these events and welcoming Who's Bad to Kings Mountain in 2022. "Our team is committed to providing community activities, enrichment and entertainment that have a positive impact on our community," said Christy Conner, Special Events Director for the City. "We will begin utilizing our creative skills to produce smaller, passive activities that are supportive of the health and safety of our guests, community members, volunteers and staff. Our team and community are resilient and I know we will join together to overcome these current circumstances." For more information concerning event cancellations and passive events being offered in the fall, contact the Special Events Department at 704-730-2101 or access their website at www.kingsmountainevents.com.
