O+ Positive Festival Returns to Kingston

What is the O+ Positive Festival? To the casual observer, it is a three-day music and arts festival that takes place October 7-9, 2016 in uptown and mid-town Kingston featuring over 60 bands and 30 artists, but it also provides much more.

Artists and musicians who donate their time at the festival will (in return) receive a complimentary heath check and wellness care from health care providers (who are also donating their time) in the pop-up clinic.

During the three days, there will also be wellness events and yoga classes.

Here is the purpose of the festival from their own website:

The non-profit O+ Festival (pronounced O-Positive) re-envisions community wellness by connecting musicians, artists and health & wellness providers to build a more sustainable solution to community wellbeing. We exchange the art of medicine for the medicine of art. O+ Festivals grow neighborhood by neighborhood, forming stronger communities and improving health.

Want to go to one performance or all of them? Wristbands are available at the O+ Postitive Festival website. If you cannot make it to the Kingston area you can make a donation online. There is even a company who is wanting to match whatever you can give, $245K Matches Foundation.
