Kennett Brewfest, one of the area’s premier craft beer events, will celebrate its 25th anniversary on October 1st, 2022. 

“The 25th annual Kennett Brewfest is going to be epic,” promises local architect and “Brewfest King” Jeff Norman. Over seventy breweries, from Artillery Brewing to Zero Day Brewing, will bring their best new and favorite beers to the premier craft beer festival’s silver anniversary event. “It’s going to be a fabulous celebration of all things craft beer,” Norman says.

The Kennett Area Park Authority (KAPA) is planning an extensive forestry management project in the ash grove at Anson B. Nixon Park. Work will begin Monday, July 11th. The goal is to preserve approximately 15 old-growth ash trees that have fallen victim to the emerald ash boring beetle and replant 125 native species, in addition to removing invasive species and controlling brush.

Because the work will be in the area near the vehicular entrance, trail, disc golf course, and volleyball courts, access to portions of the park may temporarily be blocked and visitors are asked to look for and heed cautionary signs and barricades. Additional parking is available by the “Tino” Leto athletic fields at 413 N. Walnut Road.

For more information about KAPA and the park, and to learn how you can support operations in the park, please visit the park website.

Every Friday afternoon, local growers and producers bring the bounty of summer to the KSQ Farmers Market at The Creamery. Find sweet corn, peaches, cucumbers, tomatoes, zucchini, mushrooms, meat, cheese, flowers, dog treats, honey, bread, baked goods, and more. You can sign up here to receive the weekly Farmers Market Newsletter with all the latest vendor and product updates and pre-ordering options.

Thank you for reading and for continuing to support our community and local small businesses throughout the summer months.

We wish you a great week "Around the Square"!
