Beerfest and Dance!

The tour of Kingston area continued with a craft Beerfest at historic Fort Henry in the harbour. Tumbling down the lawn and into Lake Ontario were tents with about twenty craft brewers, a number of stellar food trucks, and some quality live music courtesy of local band Ambush.

A little more shade might have been good, but otherwise an absolutely gorgeous day to be out and surrounded by stunning scenery. I tried a number of new breweries, as well as a few new selections from some more established operations. Plus...Fort Henry!

We got in early, met up with some friends, and got out just before it started getting rather busy and the lines rather long. I did enjoy a rather tasty curry sausage pita from a local eatery.

We also visited downtown Kingston, including a trip to the Grand Theatre where two of my nieces were dancing in their annual gala. The Canada 150 themed event featured great Canadian music and dance numbers with children from 4 to 18, including a wicked tap solo by my eldest niece to "Voodoo Thing" by Colin James. Great show!
