Downtown workers and snack enthusiasts, unite! Simcoe Park hosts a wonderfully eccentric public challenge: the search for Toronto's Best $5 Snack. Competitors bring their ultimate store-bought snack combinations costing $5 or less (before tax, with receipt proof required) to put on public display.

How It Works Everyone gets a vote. Attendees show up to sample the vibe, check out the entries, and crown the ultimate champion of budget-friendly culinary genius. As a bonus, the first 20 registered competitors score an on-the-spot mini portrait from local artist Jas Boyd.

Details Taking place on Monday evening from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. at Simcoe Park near the Financial District, it's a playful, low-stakes community hangout packed with side quests and snack debates.
