Kingston Tour Guides’ River Walk Pageant: Enjoy an immersive historical experience and learn all about our beautiful town with the Kingston Tour Guides, who, dressed in Edwardian costume, will bring the town’s historical figures to life with a tour themed around Jerome K. Jerome’s famous story, Three Men in a Boat which begins and finishes in Kingston.
Kingston Korea Festival & Harvest Fest: A true celebration of Korean culture, Kingston Korea Festival and Harvest Fest is a free family-oriented event for all to enjoy. This year’s highlight will be a community dance project led by The Move, a professional dance company from South Korea in collaboration with LOKO (London KPop Dance Workshop), a well-established London dance workshop company.
