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!
