Summer 2016 Harbourfront Events!

Waterfront events

There’s something about sunshine and clear skies that just makes you want to head to the sea – soak in the rays and take in that fresh sea breeze. Well, the sea is nowhere near Toronto, but thankfully we do have beautiful Lake Ontario right outside our front door! Once summer arrives, the Toronto Harbourfront is bustling with activity – events, markets, city dwellers and visitors alike – you name it, there’s lots to see and do.

Here’s a highlight of some great Harbourfront events you’ll want to check out this summer!
