Join downtown businesses as they launch the holiday season with treats, holiday beverages, great shopping and a festive atmosphere! This event is all about shopping local and the special experience of shopping downtown during the holidays!

Be sure to stop by Sydenham Street to visit with Santa!  He'll be there from 5:30pm-8:30pm along with Kingston Photobooth to take free pictures with the young and young at heart. We’ll also be playing holiday music to get everyone in the spirit!

Kingston Pride will be offering Drag Queen Gift Wrapping at the old Blueprint location (246 Princess St) during Shop After Dark.  You can come and have your gifts wrapped by some fabulous ladies in exhange for a donation to Kingston Pride.  They also have some fun lined up with caroling on the half hour (5:30, 6:30, 7:30 and 8:30) and likely more surprises!   

The Kingston Tour Trolley will be a Shopping Shuttle for the evening helping you (and your parcels!) get from place to place.  The Trolley will be picking up at Waterfront Gifts and Apparel (248 Ontario St), Brock & Wellington and Princess & Sydenham approximately every 15 minutes to help you get around downtown.
