Over 20,000 attendees and 120 craft and unique food vendors are expected to descend on Bloor Street between Spadina Avenue and Bathurst Street on June 11 for the 21st running of the Annex Family Festival.

The festival will once again feature a street parade with marching bands, and a main stage music venue at Bloor Street and Brunswick Avenue. There will be performances for the younger crowd, and a children’s village with an interactive hockey experience, street hockey, basketball, button-making, life-sized chess, and skateboard lessons.

Sponsored by the Bloor Annex BIA (whose chair publishes this newspaper), and organized by the Miles Nadal JCC, the event will also feature sidewalk sales and run rain or shine.
