The KCFF would like to introduce their new
Festival friend, Conrad
the official mascot for our 2026 edition!
Designed by Novak Djogo and Daniel Joshua Vanderhorst, Conrad stands ready to welcome longtime festival-goers and adventurous newcomers to KCFF26, running February 25 - March 1. Additionally, Conrad will be visiting Downtown Kingston's Spirit of Winter event, starting February 1 in Springer Market Square. So, bundle up, head downtown, and introduce yourself to Conrad this winter. It’s really hard not to smile when face-to-face with this giant raccoon; we dare you to try!
KCFF thanks our pals at RAW Design Inc for letting us pet-sit Conrad, who was originally part of their Winter Stations exhibit (prior to hitching a ride to Kingston). Conrad is just one of our many shared projects and collaborations with RAW. Back in 2021, the two of us co-founded the Broom Factory, which not only functions as KCFF/RAW headquarters, but also hosts tons of film, music, design, and other community events. During the day, KCFF and RAW share office space at the Broom (which is why we call each other broom-mates). Our loveable pal, Conrad, is a symbol of our partnership with RAW and an embodiment of some of our gigantic ideas and future plans.
