Festivals - July 2013

There's always lots to do in Toronto, but over the next few weeks the festival season really hits high gear. The next few weekends present a choice of neighbourhood street festivals, which provide ample opportunities to shop and sample food, while being entertained. Many also include a beer tent, to augment the street-side patios. There are also film, theatre and music festivals which run throughout the week. And Summerlicious runs through it all.
