Feature Events

Discover Kingston's standout events from cultural celebrations to community gatherings and civic ceremonies. 

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.  

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! Learn more about the Special Events Volunteer position and apply online.

The City of Kingston acknowledges that we are on the traditional homeland of the Anishinabek, Haudenosaunee, and the Huron-Wendat, and thanks these nations for their care and stewardship over this shared land.

Today, the City is committed to working with Indigenous peoples and all residents to pursue a united path of reconciliation.
