Toronto Chinatown Festival
August 24 & 25, 2013
Locations : This year's Festival has two locations inside Chinatown. The larger area with the stage takes up the northbound vehicle lanes of Spadina Avenue between Dundas Street West and College Street.
There is a smaller Festival stretch of mostly vendors on Huron Street between Dundas Street West and D'arcy, which is Less than a block long as the vendors end at the laneway, but there is a stage there, which will have programming through the weekend.
The vendors on Huron Street each have regular sized tents, making it a tight squeeze for people shopping. But hey, that's par for the course in Chinatown on any weekend!
