Princess Street Promenade

Coming Saturday, July 31, 2010

The Princess Street Promenade is a street festival intended to make Downtown Kingston's Princess Street a lively, fun, pedestrian-friendly, commercially active location for one Saturday in the summer of 2010.

The festival will promote downtown businesses, community involvement and the sustainability of active transportation such as walking and cycling.

Princess Street will be closed from Ontario Street. to Division Street. All cross-streets will remain open to traffic. Street-level Princess Street businesses, community groups and charitable organizations will spill out on to the sidewalk and street. One lane will be left open for emergency vehicles in the middle of the street, transforming Princess Street into a dynamic, car-free space.
