The Party at the Pavilion! is back! Last year was such a blast, and we can’t wait for this year’s event! This is a back-to-school event with free haircuts by licensed barbers and cosmetologists for children ages 5-13. We will also have community resources, free food, school supplies and personal care items to get each child of Knox County prepared for the upcoming school year. The best part about this event? Everything is free!
The check-in will be located at the 2nd Street entrance of the Pavilion. In order to serve as many kids as possible, barbers and cosmetologists cannot do graphics, fades, layers, color, etc. Kids with short hair will be able to choose from two different haircuts: hair buzzed off or trimmed down to an inch or so in length. Kids with medium to long hair will be able to choose from two different haircuts: a trim or cut off their hair to a short, blunt cut.
If you would like to participate as a barber/cosmetologist or have a booth, please contact us via email at events@vincennesbest.com or text/call 812-518-6576.
