The first Midnight Milestone will be held Friday, May 22, at College Square Mall.

The event is for graduates in the Lakeway Area and their guests.

Graduates and their guests preregistered earlier this month; more than 400 people are expected to attend.

After College Square Mall closes that evening, a multiagency K-9 safety sweep will be conducted prior to guest arrival.

Entry will be through the main entrance, with doors opening at 10 p.m.

All registered graduates and guests must present photo identification to enter, and a government-issued ID is preferred.

All attendees will also pass through a metal detector and be screened with a wand.

Local businesses, foundations, and individuals have donated time and resources to make this event possible and provide graduates with a safe place to celebrate. The Morristown Police Department and the Hamblen County Sheriff’s Office will provide security throughout the event.

The Morristown Police Department will also host games and activities that promote safe driving and Driving Under the Influence (DUI) awareness.

Attendees are reminded that if they leave before the event ends, a family member must be contacted to pick them up. Reentry will not be permitted once anyone exits College Square Mall.

Graduates and guests may not bring prohibited items, including tobacco, vapes, dab pens, knives, or other weapons, to the event.

Citizens are reminded that this is a private event and that traffic around the mall will increase at approximately 10 p.m. when doors open and again at 5:30 a.m. when the event ends.

Roving patrols will monitor the parking lot throughout the event.

The Morristown Police Department congratulates all graduates and wishes them a safe and fun night.
