Kingston Has Fallen – Police Shutdown Fair After Attacks #NationalGuard?

The Kingston Fall Fair was shut down early on Saturday evening after multiple incidents occurred which required police intervention.

On September 13, 2025, at approximately 10:05 p.m. the Kingston Police were called to the Memorial Centre grounds regarding a report of someone deploying bear spray into a crowd of people at the fall fair.

Officers attended and found two individuals who had been sprayed by bear spray being treated by members of the Frontenac Paramedic Service. Their injuries were minor in nature and did not require further medical attention.

Due to a lack of video surveillance and witnesses, officers were unable to identify a suspect responsible for the incident. The investigation is currently ongoing, and the incident is believed to be an isolated incident.

Two other unrelated incidents resulted in the arrest of two young offenders. A 15-year-old individual was arrested for weapons offences and breach of release conditions, while another incident led to the arrest of a 17-year-old individual for breach of release conditions. Both individuals were held in custody for a bail hearing.

As a result of these incidents the fair was shut down at approximately 10:30 p.m.
