Jehovah’s Witnesses Kipona Festival Sept. 2-4 in Harrisburg

HARRISBURG — Multicultural performances, tightrope walkers and fireworks above the Susquehanna River, live music and food trucks in September can mean only one thing – the Kipona Festival has arrived.

The 70,000 attendees anticipated at the event Sept. 2-4, 2023 will also be greeted by another welcome party – smiling people at eye-catching carts as part of Jehovah’s Witnesses’ increased outreach for the festival.

While the Witnesses’ Bible literature carts have become a fixture at transit hubs, outside tourist attractions and on main streets across the country since 2011 and in Harrisburg since 2015, special campaigns are often organized for major events like the Kipona Festival that draw large crowds.

“Attendees every year enjoy the festival with family and friends, and it is our desire to provide a positive message that will add to that joy,” said King Whetstone, local spokesperson for Jehovah’s Witnesses.

More than 60 Witnesses will participate in the initiative located on Front Street between South Street and Barbara Street.
