A two-month-long food and music festival is coming to Toronto this summer

Union Summer, presented by TD, lights up Union Stationโ€™s Front Street plaza from June 24 to August 25, transforming it into Torontoโ€™s ultimate summer playground. This annual extravaganza merges mouthwatering eats, live tunes ย and cool drinks in an al fresco setting.

Prepare for 60 days of non-stop action under the sun (or umbrella) thanks to vibrant beats from local DJs and musicians, a curated lineup of eats featuring rotating vendors like Gus Tacos and Bao Mama, plus a new dessert booth serving up everything from crรชpes to chocolate-dipped strawberries.

Midway through the festival, Union Summer keeps the excitement fresh with rotating food vendors. Look out for a Ninja-sponsored lineup of Toronto’s finest chefs and an exciting newcomer: Cleoโ€™s Burgers by Tutโ€™s Egyptian Street Food.

And then there’s the Malibu Bar – a beach-themed oasis dishing out exclusive rum cocktails and Instagram-worthy specials you wonโ€™t find anywhere else. Itโ€™s the perfect spot for a sip and a snap.

Music lovers can also rejoice! The TD Stage sets the scene with daily performances, including a kickoff by Maestro Fresh Wes on June 25. With the CN Tower as your backdrop, groove to soulful melodies and energetic beats during lunch and evening sessions throughout the week.
