Eighteen bands, tantalizing food and more than 90 vendors will greet revelers at the 13th annual Kenton Street Fair 10 am-6 pm, Sunday, Aug. 17.
Catch the fun beneath the shadow of the Paul Bunyan statue in downtown Kenton, on the portion of N. Denver Ave. between N. Watts and N. Willis.
“This is all about enjoying our community and is something you don’t want to miss,” said Kenton Neighborhood Association co-chair Terrance Moses. Fair-goers can also check out the newly renovated Kenton Library at 8216 N. Denver that will be open from noon to 6 pm during the event.
