Summer’s over, but neighbourhood events are in full swing this fall. Here’s what they have to offer:
The Cabbagetown Tour of Homes, September 19 from 1 to 5 pm, will set you back $30. But it’s for a good cause. And what a tour! Peek inside the nineteenth-century workers’ homes, Victorian mini-mansions, and cozy Arts and Crafts cottages that make up Cabbagetown’s streetscapes and you’ll find magazine-perfect modern interiors with lofty master suites, open-concept ground floors and exposed brick galore. www.cabbagetownpa.ca
416 921 0857.
Looking for a fun, free event? What about the 8th annual Queen West Art Crawl from September 16 to 19 on Queen West from Bathurst to Roncesvalles? Here you can stroll by works of 500+ artists, displayed on the street, in galleries and studios as well as in cafes and bistros along the Queen St. strip. 416 516 8301. www.parkdaleliberty.com
Visual artists, performing artists, music, dance and a celebration of the spoken word – this is Art Walk: the sixth annual St. Clair Arts Festival and Studio Tour on the weekend of September 25 and 26. This huge festival has tons of free fun for all, including the kids. www.stclair-artwalk.org
There’s more neighbourhood fun at the Junction Arts Festival, held from September 8 to 12 on Dundas St. West from Indian Grove to St. Johns Rd. Internationally recognized poet Lillian Allen has curated this year’s literary/multimedia events, which include music, visual arts, outdoor sculpture, great food and free family activities. www.junctionartsfest.com
