Kenly Parks and Recreation Special Events

Nov 29, 2025

During each year, our Parks and Recreation Department will individually offer as well as partner with other departments and associations to provide our community with multiple special events. Our special events bring the community together through festivals, holiday celebrations, family activities, and unique experiences that highlight local spirit, create lasting memories, and offer fun for all ages throughout the year. Below are events that Kenly Parks and Recreation has offered and participated in and we are constantly striving to plan and organize new events to engage our town and its residents.
