Family Day weekend is fast approaching, which means many of us will have a day off on Monday.
If you’re looking to do something fun with the whole family, Kingston has lots of activities to offer from Friday to Monday over the holiday weekend.
The city is hosting swim and skate times at Artillery Park Aquatic Centre and the INVISTA Centre on Family Day. See more information about times and schedules here.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Family Day, the Tett Centre will be running an open house where families can come and experience “hands-on, interactive art” activities for all ages.
This will also be the third weekend for Downtown Kingston’s winter carnival Feb Fest. Check out the list of things to do in Springer Market Square — including ringette and curling demos on Saturday and marshmallow roastings and horse-drawn wagon rides on Monday — here.
