Celebrate Toronto Street Festival
Last year, 1 million Toronto residents jammed the streets to
see and hear talented musicians and performers during the 3 days
(held in early July) of Celebrate Toronto Street Festival.
Held on Toronto’s famous Yonge Street, all the events are
offered free to residents and visitors. Throughout the weekend
all festival sites heralded local and national talent, delicious
cuisine and non-stop fun.
Summerlicious, sister to the Winterlicious promotion held in
January, features over 100 of Toronto's top dining restaurants
offering incredible value and exclusive menus to its patrons.
Makes you hungry just thinking about it, doesn’t it?
