The Downtown Kent Partnership announces the 5th Annual HAWKtoberfest Car Show. Individuals and car clubs are encouraged to join us for this car show in Historic Downtown Kent on Saturday, September 28th; the show runs from 11:00 – 3:00 pm.
This is a unique show in that it also includes a Seahawks themed vehicle show celebrating our beloved Seahawks! Participating vehicles that are painted, wrapped or show any form of Seahawks graphics can enter to win trophies. Trophies will also be awarded for non-Seahawks themed vehicles. The public is invited to participate and get into the spirit by wearing their best Seahawks attire/costumes.
We anticipate another great year attracting car owners from across the region to show off their Seahawk vehicles. This family friendly event will feature music, kid’s activity corner, trophy awards, vendor booths and more. Custom trophies will be awarded to vehicles in various categories. Join the costume contest with awards for best overall adult and kid’s costume, best group (3 or more), and best couple.
Car clubs and Seahawks super fans encouraged to participate! This is a free, family friend event open to the public.
