KINGSTON ROAD VILLAGE SPRING FESTIVAL

May 13

SATURDAY JUNE 13TH & 14TH - 11:AM TO 4:00PM

Here’s a more polished and energetic version:
The businesses of Kingston Road Village are BACK AT IT! Our annual Spring Festival is returning — and for the very first time ever, we’re expanding to TWO full days of community fun!
That’s right — enjoy two incredible days of Kingston Road Village celebrations stretching from Blantyre all the way to Hannaford. Our community continues to grow, and so does the festival!
Throughout the weekend, visitors can experience everything from fire trucks and emergency vehicles to live music, food and drink samples, face painting, local shopping, family activities, and so much more.
June 13th and 14th also coincides with the Toronto Botanical Garden’s Upper Beaches Garden Tour. As ticket holders explore some of the beautiful gardens throughout our neighbourhood, many will also be visiting Kingston Road to enjoy everything our amazing local community has to offer.
We’ve also been working closely with our local Police, Fire, and EMS teams to bring their vehicles and crews out on Saturday, June 13th. They’ve all enthusiastically agreed to participate, however please note that attendance and duration will depend on emergency call demand, and they may be required to leave at any time without notice.

On Saturday, June 13th, many of our local businesses will also be welcoming young entrepreneurs from the community! From handmade creations and crafts to classic lemonade stands, local kids will be showcasing and selling items they’ve worked hard to create.

Be sure to stop by and support them while you’re out enjoying the festival. Their creativity, confidence, and entrepreneurial spirit are something worth celebrating — after all, they’re the future business owners, makers, and community builders who may one day open shops right here along Kingston Road as our neighbourhood continues to grow.
