Plan your visit

From accommodation packages to dinner recommendations, we’ve compiled a list of important information so you can make the most of your time and maximize your experience at KCFF.

Each year we welcome new and returning audiences to Kingston to see some of the best Canadian cinema of the year.  Our Festival is like our city: warm, down-to-earth, and approachable. The majority of our venues are in Kingston’s historic downtown and within walking distance or close proximity to one another. Along the way you’ll find a range of incredible restaurants, cafes and pubs from fine dining to quick grab-and-get-back-to-the-festival fare.

We hope that you’ll make the most of your visit to KCFF and enjoy everything our city has to offer… that is, in your downtime when you’re not watching movies, of course!

Our restaurant sponsors are some of the best in the city.  We are grateful for their support and hope that you’ll support them in turn!
