Summer is winding down but there is still time to enjoy amazing events presented by the St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood BIA. This year we created a new event in the newly renovated Berczy Park called Berczy Beats. This is a lunchtime concert series that runs every Wednesday throughout the summer from 11:30-1:30pm. Also on Wednesday throughout the summer we offer free yoga classes in St. James Park from 12 – 12:45pm. Movies and Music in St. James Park are held every Thursday evening and we have had an amazing line-up of very talented musicians so far
Take advantage of the remaining 2 weeks of summer to enjoy free music, movies and yoga in Old Town Toronto! Check out our event page for details and don’t miss out!
The Feast of St. Lawrence was held this year August 11-13. Feast is an annual event presented by the St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood BIA that celebrates all the delicious food in our neighbourhood.
The Feast kicked off with a dinner under the stars on Friday night. Though it did rain a bit in the evening, we were safely under the 250 foot tent enjoying our 5-course meal courtesy of the top chefs in Old Town Toronto.
The festivities continued on Saturday on Market Street. John Tory joined the celebration and even helped serve some smoked roast!
Sunday was family day in St. James Park and there were lots of activities for young and old alike to enjoy. Foodshare was onsite to talk about healthy eating and vermi composting.
Thank you to all our sponsors and participants at Feast of St. Lawrence! It was a wildly successful weekend and we look forward to doing it for you all over again next year!
