Shop the Block

Spend your Sunday afternoon exploring one of Toronto's most iconic main streets during Shop the Block, taking over Queen Street West on August 30, 2026.

Sidewalk Sales and Curated Markets Stretching from Simcoe Street to Bathurst Street, local businesses and creative storefronts are rolling out special sidewalk sales and pop-ups. As a special highlight, a curated one-day-only sidewalk market will operate from Soho Street to Spadina Avenue. Expect a treasure trove of independent vendors offering everything from vintage fashion and unique art to handcrafted accessories and delicious street eats.

Exploring Queen West Running from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM, the event pairs perfectly with a Pedestrian Sundays route or a broader afternoon out in the West End. Grab a coffee, support local entrepreneurs, and soak up the street-level creative energy that defines Queen West before popping into nearby Trinity Bellwoods or local galleries.
