Our Festival's Mission and Vision

The Kent International Festival is a celebration of the cultural diversity represented in the greater Kent community. We believe that, through coming together and celebrating our various heritages with respect and understanding, we build a stronger and wider sense of community that is inclusive of all. 

In 2019, we became our own 501c3 nonprofit organization. We had been part of the Kent Sister Cities Association since 2010 and are so thankful for their support during this transition.

You can view our formation documents below.

 We are looking forward to celebrating with you at the festival in coming years.
