About Kingstonist

Kingstonist.com is an independent, non-profit, community-driven website that focuses on everything and anything related to the Limestone City of Kingston, Ontario. Our main objective is to provide unique information that focuses on: the arts, music, environment and business as well as general commentary regarding life in Kingston. Our multi-talented volunteer contributors strive to produce a diverse array of content ranging from written articles to audio podcasts, as well as video and photographic coverage of what’s going on around Kingston’s city streets and in our backyards.

Kingstonist.com was established in March 2008 as a place for current and past residents, as well as visitors to share their ideas about what’s going on, and what’s right/wrong with our modest metropolis. Our content is designed to be informative, humourous, and interactive so that it encourages an educated dialogue about Kingston. We celebrate the diversity of our contributors, as well as that of our readership, which enables us to challenge issues from a broad number of perspectives.

How to Submit Events

It probably goes without saying, but we love Kingston and we do a lot to help promote events going on in and around the city. Our Events Calendar provides our audience with respectable overview of what’s happening in the Limestone City. From sporting events, to concerts, fundraisers and a whole lot more, we try to cover all the bases. That being said, we don’t always know everything that’s going on in Kingston, and would ask you to email us if you have an important, noteworthy event you would like us to include. For more information, or to submit an event, please send an Email to our Events Section. Otherwise, if you’d like to inquire about having someone from Kingstonist to attend and cover your event, please let us know in advance so that we can coordinate the details.
