Ride the Kent Summer Carousel and Benefit Local Girl Scout Troop

Town Square Plaza in downtown Kent is hosting the summer carousel, which opens Saturday, July 16, and runs through Sunday, Aug. 28. It will re-open Sept. 3 and 4 for Labor Day weekend.

The City partners with local nonprofit organizations serving youth to operate the carousel. The carousel is free, but proceeds from a suggested $2 donation per ride will support Girl Scout Troop 41104.

The carousel’s weekly hours are: Wednesdays, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.; Thursdays, 5 to 8 p.m.; Fridays, 5 to 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and Sundays, 1 to 5 p.m. Town Square Plaza is located on the corner of 2nd Avenue and Harrison Street in Kent.
