Commemoration Weekend

EVENT UPDATE FOR WEEKEND OF MAY 1 - MAY 4, 2020
We have received a few inquiries about the schedule of events for the weekend of May 1 through May 4, 2020. We are in the process of finalizing the event schedule, which will be published later this fall.

Please know that we are planning a weekend of meaningful, educational and commemorative events including panel discussions, films, speakers, music, art & photo exhibits, tours and more. Events will begin Friday afternoon (May 1) and continue through the end of the traditional noon commemoration on Monday, May 4, 2020 (including the annual candlelight walk and vigil). Please check this page frequently for updates and additional information.

If you are planning on coming to Kent for the entire weekend, we urge you to explore area lodging options as much of the lodging in Kent is booking up quickly. A list of other options can be found here:
