One big street fiesta

Dundas St. will be home to more than cars this summer.

Packed with live music, vendors, activities for kids and local artists, Dundas will be turned into one big street party over four weekends this summer between Wellington and Ridout streets for Car Free Festival.

And the love will be spread to four neighbourhoods - Old East Village, Old South, Kipps Lane and Summerside - which will each have their own Car Free Festival during a weekend this summer.
