The most effective way to engage with thousands of FT readers, through creative sponsorship opportunities.
Official Destination Partner
We don’t orchestrate grandeur—here, it simply unfolds. In Canada, the spectacular is woven into everyday life: pristine coastlines, majestic peaks, and vibrant cities where culture, cuisine, and community thrive. From sustainable farm-to-table dining to luxurious stays nestled in the wild, our experiences reflect the land itself—rich, diverse, and deeply rooted. Hospitality isn’t a service; it’s second nature. Visitors are welcomed like locals, discovering a place where indulgence feels effortless and once-in-a-lifetime happens all the time. Canada, naturally.

Festival Bookshop
Kramers first opened its doors amid the Bicentennial celebrations of 1976. At the time of its opening, it was the first bookstore/café in Washington DC. Over the years, through expansions, subpoenas, and innumerable neighborhood changes, much of our business has remained constant, notably our commitment to providing our patrons with access to the best books we can procure and to the most delicious, varied food we can produce. In addition to possessing a lively, convivial atmosphere, and a full-service bar, Kramers stages hundreds of book-related events each year, both in the store and elsewhere.
