Kingston Festival Director’s Top Picks for Oct. 7-9 O+ Festival

This year’s O+ Festival schedule is bigger and more diverse than ever. To help you plan your itinerary, we’ve asked members of the O+ Festival team for a list of their must dos. Up first: Aimee Gardner, festival director of O+ Festival Kingston.

I am someone who likes art, theater, music, and technology. I know less about wellness but every year I like to try something new at O+. Here are some ideas for what I would do and see, but I probably won’t have time to, so I’ll have to live vicariously through you!
