Kingston Music Strategy

We are actively working on a plan called the Kingston Music Strategy. Here's what it's all about: 

  • Helping local musicians and music in our city
  • Supporting and celebrating our city's diverse and lively music communities

We are leading this plan, with help from our partners like the Kingston Economic Development Corporation and Tourism Kingston. We also work with consulting firm Nordicity who are experts in arts and culture planning.  

Kingston Economic Development Corporation works with us to lead the Integrated Economic Development Strategy, which includes Creative Industries like music. Tourism Kingston leads the Integrated Destination Strategy. 

Check Get Involved City of Kingston for details on the public engagement activities planned for this project.

The City of Kingston acknowledges that we are on the traditional homeland of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee and the Huron-Wendat, and thanks these nations for their care and stewardship over this shared land.

Today, the City is committed to working with Indigenous peoples and all residents to pursue a united path of reconciliation.
