Kent Cornucopia Days showcases Girl Scouts and Mother Africa organization

The City of Kent is gearing up for an exciting Cornucopia Days Parade in 2025, with a vibrant lineup that promises to delight attendees. This year, the parade will spotlight the beloved characters and themes from Illumination Studios, inviting spectators to enjoy a colorful display of creativity and entertainment. Parade-goers can expect to see their favorite characters marching down the street, adding a whimsical touch to the festivities.

In addition to the animated characters, the Girl Scouts of Western Washington will also make a notable appearance. The organization, dedicated to building courage, confidence, and character in youth, has over 20 troops in Kent, serving girls from kindergarten through twelfth grade. Their participation highlights the importance of community engagement and the positive impact of youth programs. As one city official humorously noted, the community eagerly anticipates the return of the Girl Scouts around cookie time, emphasizing their role beyond just selling cookies.

Another significant participant in this year’s parade is the Wide World for Refugee Mother Africa and the African Sport Federation. This organization focuses on empowering African immigrants and refugees through culturally rooted programs that promote health, arts, and economic growth. Their presence at the parade underscores the city’s commitment to supporting diverse communities and fostering opportunities for women, youth, and families.

As the preparations for the 2025 Kent Cornucopia Days Parade continue, the city looks forward to celebrating its rich cultural tapestry and the organizations that contribute to its vibrant community spirit.
