WHERE: Bloor Street, between Dufferin Street and Lansdowne Avenue
WHEN: Saturday, July 21 and Sunday, July 22
WHAT: The annual BIG on Bloor festival, a co-production of the Bloor Improvement Group and the Bloordale BIA, saw a stretch of Bloor Street closed to car traffic this weekend. Attendees shopped and ate funnel cake in (mostly) bright sunshine. There were performances by local bands, and plenty of assorted arts and crafts for sale. Also, there was a little bit of downpour, as our photo gallery makes clear.
