Village of St Jacobs
Here’s our continuation of our day trip to St Jacobs. Our blog on the Farmers’ Market can be found here (St. Jacobs Farmers Market). We didn’t have much time to explore the village of St Jacobs but we did get to go for a little walk. We managed to go into a few shops as well. Most stores have a no photography sign up in them so I did respect that.
St Jacobs Farmers' Market
St. Jacobs Farmers' Market is a popular Ontario tourist destination. It’s known as the largest year-round farmer's market in Canada. I got to explore the Market one Thursday this summer and these are the pictures I took while doing so.

Caribbean Carnival Toronto 2019
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.
Beaches Jazz Festival 2019
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.
Festival of South Asia - Toronto
I visited the Festival of South Asia in Toronto’s Little India as the street festival began along Gerrard Street East near Coxwell Avenue. With colourful clothing vendors, South Asian food stalls, and family-friendly activities, the neighbourhood came alive with culture, music, and community before the crowds arrived.
