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

A Quick Note on Our Approach

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.

Political Event Rentals Across Toronto and the GTA

Kernels and Cones provides political event rentals in Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, covering Halton, Peel, York, and Durham regions.

Whatever your riding boundaries, if your event is in the GTA, we can almost always get there. Travel fees may apply for events well outside the core GTA. Just ask.
