🔗Hi everyone! I wanted to share www.Kingston.today, a community event calendar I started as a way to keep track of what’s happening in Kingston each day of the week.

The goal is for it to be more than just my list. It’s a community effort, and anyone can add events.

The calendar primarily focuses on events in Kingston that are open to all ages, budget-friendly or free, and across a variety of interests. The hope is to make it easier for local event organizers to reach potential attendees, while giving people one centralized place to find publicly available events happening in .

If you know of an event, please add it. And if you’re interested in helping with the mission, we’re looking for support getting the word out so more people know this free resource exists.
