Kingston Memorial Centre

The Kingston Memorial Centre, a 3,300-seat multi-purpose arena in Kingston, Ontario, opened in 1951 as a tribute to local soldiers who served in the world wars. This vibrant community hub features an ice pad, outdoor aquatic centre, sports fields, and hosts the annual Kingston Fall Fair, Ontario's second oldest fair. The Centre has a rich history, having been home to various hockey teams, including the Kingston Frontenacs, and has hosted notable performances by artists like Johnny Cash and The Tragically Hip. Today, it serves as a venue for Queen's University athletics and local recreational events, reflecting Kingston's agricultural, military, and cultural heritage.
