Fairs and exhibitions Toronto

Held on the second weekend of July, this large outdoor festival brings together over 400 emerging and renowned contemporary visual artists. Dozens of small white tents are set up in Nathan Phillips Square, in the heart of downtown, to showcase the work and talent of these artists and artisans. It doesn't cost a cent to visit this "ephemeral village of the arts" and if you fall in love with a piece of art, it is possible to purchase it on site. A great way to encourage the local economy!
