Join us on select Saturdays this summer as we close a portion of the road to allow Kingsville and Cottam businesses to expand their patios into the street. Enjoy dinner and a stroll, listen to roving musicians, and take the family to the Carnegie Arts & Visitor Centre to appreciate the artwork and participate in fun activities hosted by the Arts Society of Kingsville on the parquette.

Take Part in Open Streets
I’m a vendor, I’d like to participate!
All Kingsville businesses, including Cottam and Ruthven, can apply to participate in Open Streets or the Outdoor Night Market. There is no charge to participate, and we’re happy to find you a space to set up. However, you’ll need to be completely self-sufficient. Be prepared to bring your own table and chairs, and provide your own power (if required). You will also need to provide proof of insurance and commit to staying on-site until at least 8:00 pm. Complete our Vendor Application Form.
I’m a volunteer, how can I help?
We LOVE volunteers! We’re looking for people to join the Open Streets Welcome/Safety Team. Please fill out our Volunteer Form, and we’ll be in touch soon. Thank you for being a Kingsville Volunteer Ambassador!
