Nightlife and recreation

With several music venues in the area, one of the largest theaters in the Hudson Valley (Ulster Performing Arts Center), an eclectic mix of restaurants offering promotions and Happy Hours, some great art galleries, as well as many other entertainment venues, there is always a great way to spend an evening in the Kingston area.

The proximity to the New York Metropolitan Area and influence of the neighboring Woodstock arts and music scene, ensures that there is always quality talent around to play in very unique and accessible venues. The Ulster Performing Arts Center (UPAC) is a grandiose, restored theater that hosts world-class acts on a regular basis as well performances from local dance and theater companies. Need a good reason for dining out? Not only do the restaurants and pubs in Kingston offer superb quality fare and a wide variety of dining experiences to choose from, they frequently offer promotions and Happy Hours as more of an enticement to lure you from your own kitchen.

Our ‘Nightlife and recreation’ calendar is your one stop reference for planning your evening or day when you’re looking for any kind of entertainment related to the arts, music, dining out, festivals, markets, and for kids as well as adults.
