Enjoy Concerts in Town Square Plaza Every Wednesday all Summer Long!

The following will be the concerts available for the Wednesday Picnic Performances in the Town Square Plaza, 2nd Avenue and Harrison Street, downtown Kent:

  • July 8, 12 noon - 1:00 p.m.
    Tickle Tune Typhoon
    Dancing vegetables, larger-than-life robots and award-winning music! This Northwest favorite delivers positive messages and educational topics cleverly disguised as silly fun!

  • July 15, 12 noon - 1:00 p.m.
    Roberto The Magnificent
    Comedy, juggling and crazy stunts from this former star of “The Gentlemen Jugglers.” Roberto the Magnificent rides towering unicycles, performs amazing feats and juggles everything from knives and torches to rubber chickens!

  • July 22, 12 noon - 1:00 p.m.
    Bill Robison

    Animated, fast-paced and outrageously funny, Bill Robison's performances are a unique and masterful blend of physical comedy, mimic and clowning that transport audiences to a boundless world of the zany and unpredictable.

  • July 29, 12 noon - 1:00 p.m.
    Recess Monkey
    Both kids and parents love rockin' to Recess Monkey! This trio blends various musical influences with clever and comical lyrics. There are hints of pop, folk, zany surf rock, and swamp-tinged country. Playful songs about squirrel rivalries, a slow cheetah and a tiny monkey with aspirations of being an astronaut keep the kiddos giggling and the adults smiling right along with them.

  • August 5, 12 noon - 1:00 p.m.
    Brian Vogan
    Former pre-kindergarten teacher and music educator, Brian Vogan is a rising "kindie rock" superstar. He delivers catchy tunes with family appeal, dance-ability and plenty for the little ones to learn from.
