D.I.C.E. is a program of Standing Rock Cultural Arts, a non profit art 
and educational organization based in downtown Kent.

D. I.C. E. is a series of Open Air Events that take place in Downtown 
Kent at the Home Savings Plaza.

The Goal of D.I.C.E. is to provide an economic boost to Kent’s Downtown 
Business District by offering cultural events free and open to the public.

The objectives are:

1. To attract shoppers to the Downtown Shopping District
2. To attract storeowners, restaurants, and other business owners to 
move in to vacant downtown spaces.
3. To show pride in our downtown community and celebrate the unique 
businesses located there.

These include three Sidewalk Cinema Events where a popular film will be 
rented and shown, free of charge, to attract people to the Downtown 
Shopping District. Other examples include Poetry in The Park, an Old 
Fashioned Ice Cream Social, A Cider Festival, and an Ice Sculpting Event.

At these events,. music and children’s activities are included. Popcorn, 
pre-packaged food, and beverages will be for sale by local businesses 
such as Trinity Lutheran Church, Anthony’s Cafe, and Stahl’s Bakery. 
When in season, Beckwith’s Orchards will sell cider made from their 
orchard. Woodsy’s provides a Sound System if needed.
