Homegrown Park Crawl Sunday September 29th


Personally, I'm going to be at TUM today and the Ontario Universities' Fair tomorrow, but if you want to "get your food on" and get a park fix, tomorrow's Homegrown Park Crawl looks like the place to be! And things kick off at our very own Christie Pits park.

Here's the scoop:


"On Sunday, September 29th, come for a tasty tour at the David Suzuki Foundation's first-ever Homegrown Park Crawl! Enjoy delicious food and great music as we crawl —by foot, bike and canoe — between four city parks along Toronto's former Garrison Creek corridor.

Join 18 food vendors, 12 community groups, 4 parks, 3 musical parades, 3 canoe gardens, 1 teeter totter and a David Suzuki lawn gnome in celebration of the first year of the Homegrown National Park Project.

PARK CRAWL SCHEDULE:

11:00am - Join us in Christie Pits Park to kick off the crawl
1:00pm - Crawl to Bickford Park
2:00pm - Parade to Fred Hamilton Park
3:00pm - Final parade to Trinity Bellwoods Park

Each of the four parks will host food booths, entertainment and eco-activities. Participants will be led from one park to the next by parade marshals and musical acts -- including Lemon Bucket Orkestra, Choir!Choir!Choir! and Local 164.
