BIG on Bloor Festival opens its 16th year on July 15th and 16th, 2023 with in-person pedestrian takeover of car-free Bloordale!
Bloor Street West, between Dufferin to Lansdowne. Celebrating community magic, creativity and diversity through arts and culture, providing opportunities to local disenfranchised artists and showcasing the small businesses that make Bloordale so amazing.
From July 15th to 16th, 2023, Bloordale will feature outdoor murals, window displays, public installations and other projects that encourage visitors to the area in a safe manner, adhering to the protocols our government and health officials have stated. Celebrate local with concerts and art workshops, along with a participatory component to create a community tapestry which will be displayed publicly.

Public spaces meet more than one community need. We are excited to present an alternative community event that celebrate community-building, local businesses and the diverse arts and culture of the area. Calm down zones, less vendor crowding and environmental installations are a focus this year to emphasis the community, its creators and the local shops which makes us great.

Made possible by the Bloordale BIA, BIG on Bloor is free and open to everyone.
