Accommodations

If you’re looking for a hotel, there are a few in walking distance of the likely location but they’re mostly pretty expensive — downtown business and tourist hotels. Here’s a map with the festival site indicated so you can search for hotels nearby. Within a short drive there are a few less expensive ones on Princess Street (Howard Johnson Inn Kingston, Econo Lodge, Peachtree Inn), near Division and the 401 (Days Inn, First Canada Inns), and out Highway 2 across the river and east of downtown (Super 8).

We’ll likely also be able to provide some crash space.
