1. Delicious Local Eats + Drinks
With Kingston having more restaurants per capita than almost any other city in Canada, it’s safe to say we have this “food” thing under our belt. Fall for Kingston will bring in local favourites like tapas from Tango Nuevo, authentic Italian food from Olivea, comfort food from Bella Bistro, burgers from Otter Creek Farms, and the Black Dog Hospitality Group (Chien Noir, Atomica, Dianne’s, and Harper’s Burger Bar). After sampling some of the best eats of Kingston, wash it all down with craft beer from our local breweries or delicious dessert from Mio Gelato.

From portable escape rooms and fashion trucks to tarot card readings and hand-crafted jewelry, this festival is a wonderful way to support and celebrate local business owners and artisans. Try your luck with a mobile escape room and puzzles from Improbable Escapes, find your new favourite clothing piece at The Loft Girls mobile fashion truck, get a head-start on holiday shopping from local artisans, and even try out a psychic reading!

If there’s one thing to remember about Kingston, it’s live music. Music acts will perform throughout the day, appealing to all types of musical taste. Musical acts are mostly local, highlighting the talent of Kingston’s up and coming artists. The day will culminate in a performance by the headliner band, ‘Busty and the Bass’. Live entertainment throughout the day will be by The Dan Taylor Band, Kasador, The Wilderness, Monowhales and Ralph.
