Letter from the Mayor of Kent & the Kent Cornucopia Days Director - 2012
It is our pleasure to welcome you to Kent and the 41st annual Kent Cornucopia Day's celebration held July 12 -15 with a multitude of activities, entertainment, and fun for the whole family.
South King County’s oldest and largest festival features a full size carnival and street fair with a wonderful array of 600 booths offering a variety of items, including magnificent smells from over 35 food booths to tempt the palate, and entertainment to capture your attention. Join us Sunday, July 15 downtown for South King County’s largest parade – nearly 100 entries. With such a delightful assortment of activities, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
The beautiful 11th annual "Cornucopia Dragon Boat Races" will be held on July 14 at Lake Meridian Park. The Kent Youth Soccer Association will also host the "Cornucopia Cup" and will have over 150 teams this year! The 15th annual Kent Cornucopia Days Skateboard Tournament will be held on July 14th benefiting the Lions “Camp Leo” for diabetic kids. And a 25, & 100 mile Bike Ride on July 14th along with a Kids Pre-Parade Bike Ride on July 15th by the Emerald City Lights Bike Ride Organization.
The Kent Lions produces Kent Cornucopia Days each year. Members and their dedicated volunteers have devoted thousands of hours to planning and organizing this festival. They work hard to produce a successful event that appeals to all ages, groups and interests. The City’s Parks Department will again be actively involved organizing the 5K Fun Run / Walk. We hope you will join us in acknowledging all the work they do to bring such a successful occasion to Kent year after year.
We are happy to have you join us in celebrating Kent Cornucopia Days. The volunteers thank you for supporting over 250 non-profit and charitable groups who depend on this great family festival. Come back to Kent and enjoy our community and local businesses long after Kent Cornucopia Days are over. Enjoy the summer!
