Kent International Festival - June 27

This Saturday marks a cool new tradition - the Kent International Festival!

We are told that there are 120 languages spoken by Kent residents. Did you have any idea?

So they're planning a family-style celebration of this diversity that brings together different cultures, and with a partner like Kent4Health we expect a nod to the local farmers from the farmers market as well as other health-related exhibits and activities. There will be performances going on all day long--20 in all.

June 27 - Kent International Festival

Did you know about this event?

Here's info from the Kent Reporter:

The Kent International Festival is a celebration of the cultural diversity
represented in the community and its residents. With over 120 languages spoken in the Kent School District, the Puget Sound area is a top choice for new immigrants. In response to this local growth, Kent4Health, a group of residents and businesses that encourage healthy choices for physical, mental, spiritual and environmental wellness, is organizing this event to showcase the region’s talent. The Festival will incorporate ethnic dance, musical performances, spectacular native attire, arts and crafts booths and delicious authentic cuisine.

The event will take place at the Kent Town Square Plaza. For details on the event, see the Kent International Festival site.

Also, the Kent Reporter is creating an event insert for its weekly publication that will also be handed out at the festival. If you'd like to advertise, contact Carol Bower at 253-872-6681 or email cbower@kentreporter.com.
