Summer in Kent

It's Great to be in Kent in the Summer!

Summer is a wonderful time of year in Kent, Washington. Located between Seattle and Tacoma, a stone's throw away from Puget Sound, Kent began its life as an agricultural town; today, it is a growing commercial center. Summer weather is gorgeous most days - a little rain, a little more sun, temperatures in the 70s - perfect for outdoor activities. And there are plenty of activities to choose from.

Everyone knows that the 4^th of July is one of the most popular holidays in the US. This year, residents of Kent will once again enjoy the 4^th of July Splash! at Lake Meridian Park. Families will bring the kids and the grandparents and meet with friends to enjoy a day filled with games, classic cars, and entertainment. And of course, with all that water, there must be a boat parade! The day will end with an open-air performance by the Rainier Symphony.

If you enjoy concerts al fresco, the city of Kent brings you summertime concerts - Tuesdays and Wednesdays at noon at Kent Station Plaza and Town Square park; on Thursday evenings, you'll find performances usually at Lake Meridian Park beginning at 7:00 p.m. Check the city's concert schedule to learn who is performing and when.

Kent is a great place for summertime recreation!
