Join us for the Downtown Kingston Easter Hunt - a community scavenger hunt that’s fun for all ages!

Spend your Saturday exploring local shops, solving clues, and hunting for hidden surprises. It’s the perfect way to celebrate spring, support local businesses, and enjoy the charm of downtown Kingston.

How it Works:
Start your hunt at any of the participating locations. Fill out the answer form below or pick up a sheet at The Rocking Horse. Each location will have a hidden object for you to find - mark it down as you go.

Visit at least 8 locations and mark down the hidden object to be entered into our prize draw. For every additional stop you visit after that, you’ll earn extra entries - giving you even more chances to win!

Come solo or team up with family and friends. The hunt is designed to be fun and flexible - explore at your own pace, solve clues, and enjoy everything downtown has to offer.

Prizes:
We’ll be giving away over $500 in prizes, including gift cards and goodies from participating businesses.
