City announces 2025 Feature Events season, call to vendors and volunteers
The Special Events team at the City of Kingston is thrilled to announce its 2025 lineup of Feature Events and invites vendors and volunteers interested in participating to reach out to the team for more information.
“It’s the joy of bringing people together, watching new friendships form or old ones reconnect, and celebrating the beautiful cultural diversity that makes up the population in Kingston, that is what drives the Special Events team, why we do what we do,” says Jon Hayter, Supervisor of Special Events at the City of Kingston. “We’re very fortunate to have dedicated and enthusiastic community partners, businesses and volunteers who help make these events so successful year over year.”
City of Kingston Feature Events are free admission and open to all ages. Check back to CityofKingston.ca/FeatureEvents as more details of each event are added.
Call for Vendors and Volunteers
We’re looking for vendors who would like to participate in any (or all!) of this year’s Feature Events. Vendors can be food trucks, artisans, service providers or anything in between. Contact the Special Events Team at SpecialEventsOffice@CityofKingston.ca to learn more about this opportunity.
And our events couldn’t be a success without dedicated and enthusiastic volunteers. Our volunteers assist in essential tasks such as setting up or tearing down event materials, manning information booths, supervising bouncy castles and more! You can apply online to become a Special Events Volunteer.
