August Long Weekend 2015

Lots to do in Kingston this long weekend.  Some of the things we'll be checking out are:

• Princess St Promenade - Princess St will be closed this Saturday from 10am til 4pm, in the downtown core (Division to the water, I believe).  Stores, restaurants and community groups fill the street with activities, wares and information.
• Kick and Push festival - the family is hoping to catch a performance of Shipwrecked! likely on Sunday at the Grand Theatre.  My mother's cousin's son is acting in the performance (what does that make him to me?)
• Rockin' the Square (part 2) is happening Friday evening, with Miss Emily opening for Big Sugar.  This is the free concert in Market Square (part 1 was Hawksley Workman that I went to in the rain).  I believe it starts at 8 but go early as it's free and it's not supposed to rain this time!
• Of course Movies in the Square on Thursday night - this week is Shrek.  I don't think we'll go this week, but Mary Poppins and The Little Mermaid will likely see us there!
• On Monday there is a ParaPanAm torch relay at Lake Ontario Park.  The flame will arrive at the park at 7pm.  I saw the PanAm torch downtown on it's way to Fort Henry (I think) prior to the games beginning and it was pretty neat.  We won't be attending this (I don't think) but still would be fun - and likely quite kid-friendly.

Whatever we (and you) choose to do it will be a fun and busy weekend.  Leave me a comment of anything else you know of going on around town this weekend - so we don't miss out on anything fun!

Toodles!
