Happy Blues Fest everyone!  I was out and about last night with some friends checking out some great bands.  First, I headed to Confederation Basin to see Carlos del Junco.  I have never heard anyone play a harmonica like this guy, it was incredible!  And equally as incredible was the wonderful vibe around the stage [...]

Guide to the Limestone City Blues Festival

Thankfully I don’t really have a whole lot of experience with the blues, which is to say that life is pretty good.  That said, I truly appreciate great rhythm and blues music whenever I hear it.  From August 26th to the 29th, Kingston will once again play host to some of the world’s greatest rhythm [...]

Happy Friday everyone!  Wow, it was almost chilly this morning wasn’t it?  According to my thermometer, it was 13 when I woke up today.  Still sunny and beautiful though.  I’m certainly not going to complain, this summer has been amazing.  I guess Mother Nature felt she owed us one after last year…
So what are your [...]

5 Things to See and Do Before the End…of Summer 2010

I don’t want to be a buzz kill here, but did you realize that there’s only 20 days left until Labour Day.  That’s right, you have less than one month to clear off the bucket list before the kids (or you) go back to school.  Without further adieu, and in no particular order, here’s Kingstonist’s [...]

It always seems to happen like this.  I take off for a few days and all of a sudden things get exciting.  In case you’ve been hiding under a rock, which is understandable given the heat wave this week, Cirque du Soleil has announced that they will kick off their upcoming tour with not one, [...]

Weekly Poll: The Future of the Poker Run

If you were to list the top 10 things to see and do in Kingston during the summer, chances are the Poker Run wouldn’t make the cut. It’s not a question of whether or not this annual event is entertaining, rather there’s only so much excitement one can expect when watching speeding boats roar [...]

We’ve finally hit another long weekend, and lucky for me, I’m extending my time off into next week for some much needed rest and relaxation.  Fret not, we’ve already got some terrific programming lined up on Kingstonist, so you won’t have to go without.  Speaking of outstanding content, we’re flattered that Kingstonist was recognized on [...]

Princess Street Promenade

When New York City announced that Broadway would become pedestrian friendly and go car-free, I wondered why the Limestone City wasn’t trying the same thing out on Princess Street.  It’s far from a new concept as select downtown streets are closed off during large summertime events such as Canada Day, Buskers Rendezvous and Blues [...]

Summer Reading, Kingston style.

Ah, Summer Reading Club. I don’t know about you, but those words conjure up some intense childhood memories. Walking to the library in the hot sun was one of my favourite vacation activities as a kid.  The stickers, the prizes, the book reports…okay, maybe I was the only one who enjoyed the book reports. Regardless of whether [...]
