Thanks Lola! Don't forget the free movies in Market Square every Thursday night, weather permitting.

Anyone attending Fanfayre, be sure to look for my friend Jacqueline Jamieson, one of Kingston's best known potters.

Oh I totally forgot about the Market Movies! Thanks for the reminder

I love going to Fanfayr but I wasn't able to go this year. We're selling our house and have been super busy. Just had an open house yesterday.

Looking forward to the other events though. Last year at the Princess St. Promenade I got a ton of envelopes from Send In The Clowns. They were priced 20 for $1 and they had all difference sizes, colours & designs. Great for trades & trains. Hope they do that again this year!

Awesome! Thanks Jasmine. Added it to the first post.

This thread is a wiki thread, so ppl can feel free to add events into the first post if they like. Everyone is welcome.

Just bumped because Busker's is happening this weekend. Blessed with another beautiful day in paradise here.

I believe the Odessa Fair is also this weekend.

[bargain_hunter_lola]

Yes, Odessa's fair is now right now.

And I heard something about a fair in Lansdowne also. Not sure of any of the specifics though...

[Jasminebed]

This is a very cool art show in a really beautiful setting.

Well the annual Limestone City Bluesfest is approaching fast! http://www.kingstonblues.com/welcome.html

At $10 for the whole weekend, a bracelet is a steal IMO. But there are concerts in Confederation Basin that don't even require that, usually on Friday, Sat and Sun afternoons.

Oh, and you get Blues Bucks worth $10 with your bracelet... I haven't seen who is participating this year yet as I haven't purchased mine yet. I'll update when I know.

[bargain_hunter_lola]

crap, I totally forgot about the fair this weekend. DUH!

Can't forget Chilifest!!! lol

Dont forget if you know of an event, you can add it to the first post since it's a wiki thread.
