Wondering About the Weekend?

Friday, July 18th

There is only one thing you should be doing tonight, and that’s heading out to the CD release party for Ianspotting. Dubbed Kingston’s Reggae sensation by CBC Radio’s Allan Neil, the group is a past winner of 105.7’s famed Bandslam. With an opening performance by one of our other favorite local bands, Slaves of Spanky, the Ianspotting CD release kicks off around 10pm at the Elixr.

Saturday, July 19th

Choosing what to do today might prove a little more difficult…

The Kingston Symphony plays its annual concert at Fort Henry at 8pm. The symphony will be joined by Kingston’s Country sensation, The Abrams Brothers as well as the Fort Henry Guard who will be firing cannons during Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. The concert will come to a close with a fireworks finale. Tickets are still available through the Grand Theatre box office.

Starting Saturday and ending at 4pm on Sunday is the Red Roof Women’s Festival. The event itself occurs in Marlbank. I know it’s not quite Kingston but the festival boasts the talents of numerous Kingston bands and solo artists including Jenica Rayne, Lynne Hanson, Get in the Car, and Girls’ Night Out.

The Artel will be wrapping up its current exhibit this Sunday. Banalyze This is a collaborative exhibition of drawings by Former Kingston Artist Kyle Bishop and the Gestalt Collective (artists Loretta Walz and Andrea Hunter). The installation looks for meaning in human interdependence and need. The gallery is open from 11am-4pm on Saturday and Sunday.

Sunday, July 20th

Not a whole lot going on on Sunday, save for the Market.  With the weather forecast we’re having, it might be a good day to check out a movie, or tending to the growing list of chores around the house.
