Renton is marking a major milestone: the city is turning 125 years old, and residents are invited to join in the festivities. The City of Renton has announced a 125th Birthday Celebration, extending an open invitation to the entire community to come together and honor more than a century of history, growth, and neighborly spirit.

The announcement, shared by the City of Renton on August 13, 2026, is a reminder of just how far this vibrant community has come. From its early days to its current status as one of the Puget Sound region’s most dynamic cities, Renton has built a legacy worth celebrating — and city leaders clearly want everyone to be part of the party.

Adding to the excitement, the City’s Parks and Recreation Department has also just released its new fall 2026 Let’s Go Renton! guide, packed with upcoming programs, activities, and events for residents of all ages. Whether you’re looking for youth sports leagues, fitness classes, arts programs, or outdoor adventures, the new seasonal guide is your roadmap to making the most of autumn in Renton.

Together, the birthday celebration and the fresh Parks and Recreation guide paint a picture of a city that is energetic, community-minded, and eager to bring people together. Residents are encouraged to check the City of Renton’s official channels for details on the 125th Birthday Celebration date, location, and activities, as well as to pick up or download the new Let’s Go Renton! fall guide to plan their season.

Here’s to 125 years, Renton — and to many more ahead!
