Music & Food

Perfect Pairings

Food is its own art form in Kingston with talented chefs blending flavours from around the world using local ingredients at our 300+ restaurants. Pubs serve up delicious brews and feature local bands. Kingston’s impressive musical history means that the band you’re watching at the Merchant on a quiet Tuesday might be filling up arenas in a year or two. Music from local hitmakers like The Tragically Hip and the Glorious Sons to up-and-coming student musicians, Kingston’s scene is hot and happening.
