What’s open and closed in Kingston for 2021 Labour Day weekend

This year, Labour Day falls on Sept. 6, and as always, the holiday will cause some closures in Kingston on Monday.

If you’re looking to celebrate the last throes of summer, there will be a fair coming to the Memorial Centre starting Friday. It’s not Kingston’s annual Fall Fair, which was cancelled again this year due to COVID-19, but the Kingston and Frontenac Fun Fair will include classic rides, games and food on Kingston’s midway.

Otherwise, we’ve collected a list of holiday closures to help you navigate your long weekend.
