The Kenai Beautification Commission will hold its annual summer garden tour on Tuesday, August 11, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. The tour will showcase landscaping work and volunteer efforts at Leif Hansen Park and the visitor center.
Commissioners picked the 11th after weighing schedules and sticking with the Tuesday pattern from past years. The tour could include other locations if major improvements are ready to show off, including the concrete planters downtown.
The tour follows the city's annual planting day, a separate volunteer event held in early June. Volunteers meet at City Hall from 10 a.m. to noon to plant flowers around town, then head to the nearby firehouse for a cookout. Groups like A New Life Church have signed on to plant at the Welcome to Kenai sign and four other spots.
The garden tour is free and open to the public. Contact the Parks and Recreation Department for details.
