Pride weekend in Toronto
Pride weekend is finally here, bringing four full days of incredible events, celebrations, performances and fun. Head to Church Street for a totally walkable street market, complete with multiple stops along the way that have been transformed into full stages for drag shows and concerts! And don’t miss the Trans Rally, Dyke March and Pride Parade.
Taste of the Junction
The Junction’s biggest annual street party returns on Saturday, turning Dundas West into a pedestrian-friendly celebration of local food, shopping and live music. Explore more than 50 local vendors and take in immersive installations and 11 permanent augmented reality wall murals.
Together on Geary
On Saturday, Geary Avenue closes to traffic and opens up to music, art, food and community for Together on Geary. One of the city’s coolest industrial strips comes alive with live music and DJs, soccer-themed pop-ups and watch parties, visual art installations, interactive workshops and craft stations and plenty of fun for the whole family.
Taste of Asia Festival
From Friday through Sunday, one of the GTA’s largest street festivals returns with three days of food, culture and entertainment. Taste of Asia brings together hundreds of vendors serving everything from Korean street food and Japanese snacks to Chinese specialties and Southeast Asian favourites, alongside live performances and cultural showcases.
Lavazza IncluCity Festival Soccer Series kickoff
The Lavazza IncluCity Festival is back this summer, and to celebrate the World Cup, they’re launching a Soccer Series, celebrating the game through film. The series pairs outdoor screenings with food, music and special programming such as Bend it Like Beckham, Voy! Voy! Voy! and Il Viaggio Degli Eroi.
Noah Kahan at Rogers Stadium
Singer-songwriter Noah Kahan has skyrocketed to fame, and so it’s no surprise he’ll be taking over Rogers Stadium for his show on Sunday. After the success of Stick Season, he’s taken it to the next level with his latest release, a folksy and emotional album titled The Great Divide.
Taste of Ghana
On Sunday, Taste of Ghana offers a delicious introduction to one of West Africa’s richest culinary traditions. Visitors can sample authentic dishes like jolly rice and kelewele, shop local vendors and enjoy cultural programming celebrating Ghanaian music, dance and heritage.
