I just finished up Kingston this weekend and it went pretty well. Last year we ran out of food early which is never a good thing at a food and drink show. Food was our #1 problem in 2023 and we seemed to have solved our food issue for this year. I figure by year 4, we will have a really good list of dependable food vendors for all 8-10 festivals across the province.


We sold just over 2,200 tickets with a goal of 2,000. Kingston is a really price sensitive market and having to use ticketmaster doesn't help our ticket costs. Anyways a good event overall, we greatly improved from last year and we should be able to run a better event next year.
