25 things to do this winter in Kingston

By Sarah Houghton

We’ll say it. Winter is the most wonderful time of the year, especially with a list as hot as this! Shop ’til you drop at holiday craft shows and markets, ring in the New Year with the city, have fun at the annual Feb Fest, and celebrate the return of curling to Kingston with the 2020 Tim Horton’s Brier, plus so much more.

Do you have a Kingston event you’d like featured on our monthly list? Add it to our events calendar for consideration!
