Food is its own art form in Kingston with talented chefs blending flavours from around the world using local ingredients at our 300+ restaurants. Pubs serve up delicious brews and feature local bands. Kingston’s impressive musical history means that the band you’re watching at the Merchant on a quiet Tuesday might be filling up arenas in a year or two. From local hitmakers like The Tragically Hip and the Glorious Sons to up-and-coming student musicians, Kingston’s scene is hot and happening.
Music + Food
Whether it’s the close connection to nature, the amazing restaurant scene, or the profound sense of community, Kingstonians are among the happiest people in the country.
