Things to Do This Week in Kingston, NY for 5/17 – 5/22
“Variety” is the operative word for this week’s collection of events and it is easy to see why. There is a “Kidsfest” and a “Mayfest”, loads of nature hikes, classical music, and more for entertainment seekers to discover on our calendars this week. As it stands, the weather is looking pretty favorable for most of the week (yay!), so get out and have some fun!
Below are some of our picks for fun and entertaining events on our calendar this week that we think you may not want to miss!

Don’t forget- It’s always a good time to adopt a new family member. Check out our Furever Friend section on our website here to see some awesome dogs available for adoption at the UCSPCA! Supported by the ever-animal-loving Kimlin Energy!
Chamber Music on the Hudson – Classical music AND choreography at the Senate Garage.
Construction Story Time – Little kids love heavy equipment, right?
Friday Nights at the Pop-Up! – One of our favorite neighborhood events in Midtown!
Fred Gillen Jr @ Keegan Ales – Looking forward to hearing this talented musician at one of our favorite local spots!
MyKingstonKids Fest: Welcome To The Circus – Join the parade with the kids and then enjoy plenty of fun activities and more!
