Celebrating 200 Years of Kentville

We are thrilled to announce the launch of Kentville's 200th Anniversary celebrations. 

In April 1826, the inhabitants of Horton Corner came together at a public meeting and formally resolved that their growing village would be known as Kentville. Two centuries later, we are proud to celebrate 200 years of growth as a vibrant town and a welcoming community. 

To mark this milestone, we are excited to share some of the key anniversary events planned throughout the year:

  • Summer Garden Contest "200 Years of Growing", including awards
  • Free Public Swim Celebration
  • Children's Drawing Contest
  • Community-Inspired Cookbook Launch
  • Harvest Festival "Back to 1826", featuring hands-on historical activities
  • Municipal Awareness Week, with open municipal facilities and meet-and-greet with Council and staff
  • Kentville's 140th birthday party, complete with cake

Additional details will be added to this event page, and more information will be shared on social media in the coming weeks.

We look forward to celebrating this historic milestone with you and the entire community!
