Arriving in mail boxes soon is the Town’s 2017 Events Calendar. I encourage Residents to post the schedule to your refrigerator or bulletin board, so you don’t miss any of our upcoming events! In just a few short weeks, Howard Avenue will be hosting the 4^th Annual Kensington Car Show on April 9^th, 10 am – 4 pm, where you can check out cool cars, relax and listen to live bands, grab some lunch from multiple food trucks, and shop in one of our unique stores. The 12^th Annual Day of the Book Festival will be on April 23^rd, 11 am – 4 pm, which celebrates the International Day of the Book, by lining Howard Avenue with authors and books, along with live bands and a food court at the Train Station. There will also be a Craft Show held on Armory Avenue by Gala.

One event missing from the Event Calendar is the 1^st Annual Kensington Paper Airplane Day, which is sponsored by Kensington Can! The event is scheduled for Sun., May 21^st, 1 – 3 pm, at St. Paul Park, and will allow people to decorate their own paper airplanes, enter contests, and win prizes.
