The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is set to kick off this weekend, attracting movie enthusiasts and celebrities to the city for ten days of premieres and events. However, attendees should be aware of a TTC closure and streetcar diversions in effect.
During the festival, King Street West will be transformed into a pedestrian-only zone between Peter Street and University Avenue. This area will host free entertainment, immersive activities, and a variety of food, drinks, and cultural experiences.
In addition to the main festival, the Rogers TIFF 50 Timescape event will take place in Yorkville, featuring live music performances and interactive installations celebrating movie scores from TIFF films. The event will also offer multimedia content, director conversations, and live red carpet moments.
Meanwhile, the Taste of the Kingsway street festival in South Etobicoke promises a weekend of food, music, and family fun with international food vendors, live performances, and a dog show along Bloor Street.
For those looking for a vegan-friendly experience, Vegandale Festival at Woodbine Park will showcase plant-based vendors, music, and art. And for the community-minded, Cabbagetown’s annual festival will offer shopping, performances, and delicious food at Parliament and Carlton Streets.
