Saying goodbye to patio season doesn't have to be a somber affair. The Elm Tavern is transforming its lobby-level outdoor courtyard terrace into a family-friendly celebration for its Farewell to Summer Festival, offering a lively evening of open-air dining, interactive games, and entertainment just steps from Yonge and Dundas.

Family Courtyard Fun & Character Visits The event turns the sheltered courtyard space into an entertainment hub for kids and parents alike. Families can expect complimentary tabletop and lawn games set up across the terrace, alongside special evening character appearances featuring beloved princesses and superheroes for photo opportunities and meet-and-greets. Adding to the family value, kids eat free from the children’s menu with the purchase of an adult entrée.

The Elm Tavern Experience Tucked along historic Elm Street inside the Chelsea Hotel complex, The Elm Tavern serves elevated pub comfort food, local craft beers on tap, and signature cocktails. Its courtyard terrace offers an unexpected quiet nook in the bustling downtown core, making it a relaxed spot to gather before heading to an evening show or browsing the nearby shops.

Getting There & Details The Elm Tavern is located at 22 Elm Street, just a short walk north of the Eaton Centre and steps from both Dundas and College subway stations on Line 1. The event runs from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Walk-ins are welcomed, though reservations for patio dining are encouraged.
