Cofounded by a handful of local artists and doctors, the first O+ Festival was held in Kingston in 2010. The full weekend of performances and art brought together local and visiting musicians and artists, who exchanged their work for health and wellness services from participating medical workers and healers.
The full 2024 O+ Festival lineup and events schedule, as well as wristbands-for-donation pricing, is accessible on the O+ organization’s website.
