The Kent International Festival is a celebration of the cultural diversity represented in the Kent community and South King County. We are a 501c3 nonprofit. With over 130 languages spoken in the Kent School District, our area is a top choice for new immigrants. In response to this growing diversity, our planning committee of volunteers along with organizations and businesses share an interest in celebrating our community’s culture. The Festival showcases the region’s ethnic dance, musical performances, spectacular native attire, cultural booths and delicious authentic cuisine. Our festival is held on one day every year on the first Saturday after Memorial Day weekend.
During COVID-19, we are sharing Cultural Stories online through livestream videos until we can be together in person again.
