Hello everyone, it’s that time of year and we are so happy that we can share our day at the Santa Claus Parade with you. This years Parade will features 34 floats, 20 marching bands, 2,250 volunteers. Thanks to all involved with the parade, if all involved didn’t participate this event wouldn’t be possible.

Hello everyone, we hope you had a great summer and are excited about the fall season that is now upon us. Our blog today is about the Toronto International BuskerFest for Epilepsy 2019. We start with our journey to BuskerFest, at the Corner of Coxwell Ave. and Eastern Ave.. There were people out directing people along with signage.

This year’s Taste of the Danforth took place August 9th to 11th. We attended Saturday afternoon-night as well as Sunday evening. Great entertainment, food and fun! We will let our pictures do all the talking.

Toronto’s Caribbean Carnival’s Grand Parade took place on Saturday August 3rd on Lakeshore Boulevard West.  I ended up near the main stage and got to see the mas bands competition.  What an experience!   High energy and great vibes all around. More pics below. 

I attended the Beaches Jazz StreetFest on Friday night with a friend. We started off at Woodbine Avenue and Queen Street East. The first group of musicians we saw was the Samba Squad, a drumming group lead by award winning percussionist, Rick Shadrach Lazar. This group is very skilled. They had quite the coordination! I wanted to stay to see more but we had to move on and check out some more music.

Today I went down to the Festival of South Asia in Toronto’s Little India. (Gerrard Street East and Coxwell Avenue). As soon as I got there I saw Mayor John Tory along with Toronto-Danforth Councillor Paula Fletcher. They were being introduced to local business owners by Tasneem Bandukwala, TD Festival of South Asia Executive Director, and Gerrard India Bazaar Manager.

The street fest was just getting underway and it wasn’t too busy at this point. I was able to take in all the sights before it got crowded. There were racks of colourful clothing between yummy food vendors. I also spotted lots of activities for kids - a sidewalk chalk area, bubbles, jump rope to name a few.
