The Skeleton Park Arts Festival is back into full swing this week and I couldn't be more ecstatic! The five day festivities from June 22-26 is an annual celebration of summer solstice. A magical atmosphere reigns down onto the city of Kingston showcasing local artists, musicians and all sorts of talent in historic McBurney Park, also most popularly known as Skeleton Park.
So bring a blanket and you're set for a picnic feast as musicians play to the beat but there's a twist - with most events being free, this year's festivities are one of a kind and will get you shaking your hips. Get ready to see this gal having fun!
Here are my top 5 must-do for the Skeleton Park Arts Festival:
1. Morning Dance Party
