Kent County has been recognized by the Maryland State Arts Council
as one of the significant arts communities in the state. With
this in mind, we have designed the Arts & Entertainment site
to provide you with information on what the county has to offer
in relation to its arts, entertainment, and
cultural heritage. Hopefully, this will help you plan a fun-filled
stay, enabling you to take full advantage of places to go and
people to see. For more information, call the Kent County Tourism
Development Office at 410-778-0416 or email tourism@kentcounty.com.
