The Kent Downtown Partnership is excited to announce the Kent Cajun Fest, Saturday, August 20, 2022.
We have teamed up with one of Kent’s regionally renowned establishments, Altha's Louisiana Cajun Seasonings to bring the first-ever event of this type and the summer’s biggest party to the community. You don't have to travel deep into the heart of Cajun Country to find great music, authentic Cajun food, and good old-fashioned soulful fun! In fact, it's closer than you think.
Dance, dine, and have a ragin’ Cajun good time where Southern culture and hospitality turn historic downtown Kent into our own little Louisiana! This event will feature a genuine Zydeco lineup with Zydeco Lowdown, Bayou Envie, and Swamp Soul plus the slashing guitar, powerful vocals, funky licks, and ‘slop jar delta funk’ bluesy Nick Vigarinos’ Meantown Blues. Jukebox Jamzz brass band who will jazz up the crowd and lead our 2nd Line parade.
The event will be held outdoors at Burlington Green Park in historic downtown Kent. In addition to the incredible music lineup, you’ll find a beer garden sponsored by Half Lion Brewing, food by Crawfish King, Po Boy n’ Tings, Where You At Matt and more.
Guests can also expect local and regional artists/vendors, activities for the Kiddos. The Cajun Fest is a free event for everyone. Dressing in themed costumes is encouraged - the event will include some New Orleans swag for sale. Bring your blankets, chairs, and head down.
