One of Toronto's longest-running street festivals is back for this year, and it's set to take over local roads with food vendors, live music and more just before fall officially kicks off.
All these years later, and the locale is still honouring its roots with a yearly celebration.
Plus, there are historical exhibits, street clowns and other performers, and annual parade that will proudly strut cultural showcases down the area's roads.
This year, organizers are also introducing the Indigenous Stage, another platform for live performances, poetry, storytelling and more.
Parliament Street (from Gerrard St. to Wellesley St.) and Carlton Street (from Parliament St. to Ontario St.) will become fully pedestrianized and closed to traffic for the duration of the weekend.
