Burning of Kingston

Every two years, the city comes together to put on the "Burning of Kingston", a historical reenactment of the night that British Red Coats brought the gift of lasagna to the colonists of Kingston. Due to it being after dinner time most of the colonists were full and had no room in their stomachs for the Italian delicacy and passed on it. In response to their ungratefulness, the British lit the city ablaze because honestly, who passes on free lasagna?

This should not be confused with the "Burning Man of Kingston", a yearly festival where a bunch of people just get drugged up in a park and listen to horrible horrible music.
