This Sunday will mark to 13th Annual Festival On Bloor.From noon to 6 pm, Bloor Street West from Spadina to Bathurst will be closed to vehicles and you can stroll and enjoy live music at the Tranzac Mainstage and theatre at the Fringe stage (not sure where that is, but it probably won't be hard to find!)
Also promised is "activities for kids of all ages and over 70 craft and specialty food vendors."
I haven't gone to the Festival in a few years, despite it being at the bottom of my street, because it's always during "poison time" for parents of elementary-school children: from the May long weekend to the end of the school year. Let's just say it's a time of year when you're not looking for something to do... more like looking for an extra moment in the day.
However, when I did mosey down, I usually found it a bit disappointing. I felt it was just a bunch of vendor booths lining Bloor and not much more.
Has anyone attended in recent years? Anything you'd recommend about it?
If nothing else, it's kind of nice to stroll the road without threat of being run over, sort of like a big Pedestrian Sunday.
Cheers,
Vanessa
