Upcoming Events
Kentwood 4th of July Celebration Update
Kentwood City Hall (4900 Breton SE)After much consideration and discussion, the City of Kentwood has made the difficult decision to join other communities in canceling this year’s Fourth of July Celebration due to the uncertainty surrounding COVID-19 and restrictions on large group gatherings. However, we are excited to share we are organizing a parade of City vehicles through our community as a way to still honor Independence Day safely. We’re also postponing our fireworks show to the fall. Watch for more details soon!

Kentwood Parks and Recreation strives to offer sports and recreational programs for all ages and abilities. This year’s gala will highlight our Adaptive Water Ski Program. Kentwood is the only municipality in the state of Michigan to offer this type of program. This program empowers over 100 children and adults throughout Michigan with a variety of physical, cognitive and developmental disabilities. These individuals get to experience freedom and mobility on the water. Funds raised at this year’s gala will go towards growing our adaptive programs and purchasing new equipment.
