Thanks for an incredibly beautiful first Guest Slippers festival!

Special thanks to all the hosts, the performers from both near and far, and everyone who donned their slippers to help make this happen.

It was very special to feel the neighbourhood get behind this idea, and to have so many people come out to listen. Long live house shows in Kingston!

here it is, spread out before you, the complete schedule for slippers! we are so excited for all of you to fill the living rooms, backyards, marshlands, and the streets in between.

don't forget to RSVP to receive the addresses (link in bio) - and if you are keen on coming to multiple shows, you can reserve a festival pass to pick up at the door.

and yes, the 5 am show is at 5 am. in the approximate words of a member of TYФA, there is a sunrise performance by the marsh every morning, but this time we are inviting you to it.
