Mixto Festival is back for 2022 with an expanded format and a truly international lineup!
It brings together communities, cultures and contemporary experiences in a uniquely celebratory format that avoids presenting “world music” as a static or exotic experience. Instead, cultural diversity is treated as an intuitive and integral part of the city’s multicultural fabric.
Wine Fest Toronto is an annual 2-day event celebrating the city’s buzzing wine culture with a chance to try wines from all around the world.
Enjoy all you can taste wine from around the world and get out and enjoy the sun. This is the festival for wine lovers across Toronto to share the tastes and smells of their favourite grapes.
Originally launched in 2013, as a part of record label Arts & Crafts’ 10th anniversary celebrations, Field Trip grew to become synonymous with the start of summer in Toronto, enjoying rare status as a favourite festival for music fans, families and performers alike. The cross-generational festival has always been rooted in community, striving to bring people together through music and art, creating space for discovery, and celebrating Toronto. The festival went on hiatus in 2019, stretched longer due to the pandemic, and returns now with Alibi Entertainment Inc. as a partner.
TD Salsa On St Clair (July 9th and 10th)
The annual FREE TD Salsa on St. Clair Street Festival takes over midtown Toronto transforming a stretch of St. Clair Avenue West (from Winona Dr. to Christie St.) into Canada’s biggest salsa party featuring an international calibre of Latin music, non-stop dancing in the streets, Latin foods and fun for all ages!
