Cornfest returns; Koreatown’s inaugural street festival; street closure at Bloor and St. George streets

Cornfest returns to Jean Sibelius Park on Sept 15 (3-5pm)

The Annex Residents’ Association is again hosting its annual Cornfest. All are welcome to this rain or shine event to enjoy the sweet seasonal treat together with baked goods, games, and live entertainment!

Koreatown Street Festival 

The Korea Town BIA hosted its inaugural street festival on August 10 featuring food vendors, drumming performances, and a brass band. A portion of Euclid Avenue from Bloor St. W was closed for the Saturday evening event which drew a large gathering. 

Bloor and St. George full closure

The city has announced that construction on Bloor Street West will require the full closure of the intersection at St. George for the week of August 19 to 26. No vehicle traffic, including cyclists, will be permitted passage. Cyclists will be expected to dismount. Pedestrian access will be maintained. 

The city’s contractor anticipates substantial project completion by August 30 and to be off the street by the end of September after two years of roadwork.
