Celebrate Toronto is happening on Saturday, September 10 and Sunday, September 11 at Nathan Phillips Square, and will showcase the city’s small businesses, artists, and musicians.

The free weekend party will feature tons of great shopping, live entertainment, and activities for all ages to enjoy. And Celebrate Toronto is pet friendly, too.
