The O+ Festival was the result of a conversation between artists, doctors, and a dentist: what if they could bring a band to perform in Kingston in exchange for dental work? 

Since then, the O+ Festival has hosted hundreds of bands and performers, filling the city with music for one glorious weekend every October.

During the O+ Festival weekend, you can hear live music in both traditional and unique venues around town – from the soaring cathedral of the Old Dutch Church to breweries, galleries, parking lots and alleyways.

While the vast majority of musicians are local, O+ brings musicians from all over the U.S. (and sometimes, beyond!) to exchange the art of medicine for the medicine of art.
