The Bloorcourt Festival will take place on Saturday August 26, 2017 from 12:00pm - 10:00pm in the vibrant Bloorcourt BIA on Bloor Street West.

This festival boasts one of Toronto's largest gatherings of artists, musicians, artisans, and masters of all crafts. A true modern Renaissance. There will be arts and crafts vendors displaying an exciting array of wares. It is a hub for emerging artists and veterans alike. There will be plenty of family fun complete with inflatables, crafts, and interactive entertainment for the children to enjoy.

All the way across the event from Dufferin to Montrose the local businesses will be coming outside for sidewalk sales. Restaurants, bars, and pubs will all have patio extensions for patrons to enjoy food and beverages outdoors on the street. Last but not least the event features exceptional talent with live music playing at street corners from end to end.
