Skeleton Park Arts Festival: The Goat Steppers, Miranda Ceara and the Odd Fellow...

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.

We encourage folks to bring their own batter bottle and utensils to help us keep the festival waste-free. Valet bicycle parking will also be available.
