The Community Partner programme is designed specifically for local Kingston businesses who want to support the festival while welcoming new customers.
During festival week, audiences move between venues for screenings, talks, and events. Many are looking for places to eat, drink, shop, and relax between films. Community Partners benefit from visibility across KIFF platforms while also welcoming festival visitors through their doors.
KIFF actively promotes participating businesses across our website, social media, and newsletter, encouraging audiences to explore Kingston’s local restaurants, bars, cafés, and shops.
Many Community Partners also choose to offer a simple promotion during festival week — such as a dining offer, drink special, or small discount — which helps attract festival audiences while introducing new customers to the business.
This partnership helps strengthen Kingston’s local economy while connecting businesses to a growing cultural event that brings visitors to the borough.
