Non-partisan service. We work with campaigns and associations across every party. Delivery, setup, and cleanup included.
Why Toronto Campaign Teams Book Kernels and Cones
Draws people in, keeps them around
The smell of fresh popcorn pulls foot traffic from across a park or hall. A snack station gives constituents
a reason to stop, stay, and chat with your candidate or volunteers, instead of walking past.
BBQs, picnics, and outdoor rallies
Door-to-door pre-events and volunteer kickoffs
Family-friendly photo moments
Cotton candy and snow cone stations create natural photo opportunities for your candidate
with families and kids, the kind of authentic moments that work well on social and in local media.
Approachable backdrops for candidate-with-constituent photos
Welcoming for parents bringing kids to a political event
Stress-free for your event lead
Campaign and association schedules are busy enough. We handle the
delivery, setup, and cleanup, so your volunteer event lead can focus on the people, not the equipment.
On-time delivery and setup across Toronto and the GTA
Clear, simple operating instructions for volunteers
Sanitized, food-safe equipment

Kernels and Cones is a family-owned, non-partisan local business. We do not endorse any party,
candidate, or political position.
We have served events for federal, provincial, and municipal campaigns across the political spectrum.
Our role is simple: show up on time, run the snack station, leave the venue clean. The political content of your
event is entirely yours.
Pricing is the same across all parties and associations. We operate first-come first-served on event dates,
and we will let you know up front if we are unavailable for a date so you can plan around it.
