Kapers History

Kiwanis Kapers has been the signature fundraiser of the Kiwanis Club of Morristown for decades. What began as a modest variety show has grown into one of the club’s most beloved traditions, and what it raises goes to organizations serving children in Hamblen County. This page keeps a record of past shows.

2026 Kiwanis Kapers / Morristown… LIVE!

May 1 and 2, 2026  |  Inman Theater at Walters State Community College

The 2026 show marked 75 years of Kiwanis Kapers.
