Although Greetktown’s Taste of the Danforth was cancelled this year, not to fret: there are plenty of street festivals taking over Toronto that promise to delight your senses by way of music, art, cuisine and culture.

Here are five memorable street festivals taking place this summer.

Scarborough’s largest street festival, Taste of Lawrence is a three-day food and cultural event that will take place along Lawrence Avenue between Warden Avenue and Birchmount Road.
