Evening of Friday Sept. 10 to evening of Sunday Sept. 12. On Dundas St. W. between Indian Gove and St. Johns Pl (that’s Keele and Dundas-ish).
Be there or be square. The Junction Arts Festival is the best street fair our city has to offer. (Take that Taste of the Danforth and Beaches Jazz Festival it.) The street comes alive with all manner of performance and the shops and restaurants become impromptu art galleries. There is music, dancing, sketch comedy and circus tricks. What’s more, though, is how this festival truly reflects our community. The young families come out to play with the hipster artists and the independent entrepreneurs and it’s a big, all-inclusive love fest. And, so much fun! If there was ever anything worth the trip to the Junction, this is it.
And this year it looks bigger and better than ever before. Check out the A Child’s Experience schedule or just show up and make your way along Dundas St. W. and let it all soak in.
Seven days a week from 10am – 5pm. Five minutes North of Milton (9528 Hwy 25 in Halton Hills).
It’s not just for apple picking anymore. Chudleigh’s Apple Farm (of Chudleigh’s pie fame) offers a slew of other activities for families all summer long. I used to be opposed to the idea of putting a price tag on the rural experience and selling it to city parents, but really, where else are you going to get all this?
- A petting zoo with alpacas, deer, goats, peacocks and more
- Tractor-drawn wagon rides
- A large safe & fun playground complex with a sandpit, towers, bridges and slides
- Straw maze
- Face painting and pony rides on weekends
- A restaurant great for farm-fresh summer lunches
- Store where you can take home an apple pie and many other treats
- Picnic area
- Nature walks featuring a teepee
And at $17.50 for a family of four or $5 per person (kids three and under are free) you still come out ahead of lunch at McDonald’s.
