Skeleton Park Arts Festival: Dave Barton, Genticorum, Teilhard Frost, Voices Roc...

Event Description

Come and enjoy the 21st annual Skeleton Park Arts Festival, a non-profit summer solstice celebration, during the Summer Solstice Weekend, June 19-21 2026.

This free, family-oriented event takes place in McBurney Park and the surrounding neighbourhood. There will be multidisciplinary artists from Kingston and around the world, in addition to family and heritage activities.
