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.
