Our team in Toronto real estate is always busy, however, we always find time to enjoy some culture!
Have you ever noticed how many events there is in Toronto over the summer?With such a culturally diverse population of over 5 million (inc. GTA), summer in Toronto is just like every year loaded with thousands of concerts, festivals and conventions.It is simply impossible to mention or even list here all the upcoming events (see toronto.com for exhaustive listings).What I would rather do is to pick 5 very diverse festivals that cover wide range of interests.
Luminato
When: June 5th – 14th
Where: various places
Did you participate at last year’s Luminato?For 10 long days, get ready to celebrate all kind of arts in the streets, squares and parks of Toronto once again.Rich program of over 100 events, lasting for 10 days will stretch between music, films, dance, theatre, visual arts, food and others.Tickets available for sale already.
