Union Summer – Presented by TD is back for its ninth consecutive season, transforming the Front Street Plaza outside Union Station into downtown Toronto's ultimate open-air summer hangout. Running through August 9, the festival serves up a vibrant mix of free live entertainment and some of the GTA's most sought-after culinary pop-ups.
Music, Food, and Good Times
With more than 120 live performances scheduled—spanning jazz, blues, big band sounds, and DJ sets—there's always a soundtrack to your afternoon or evening. The patio scene is equally impressive, featuring curated street eats from local favourites like Wicked Carib, viral shawarma spot Sumaq, gourmet burgers from Ugly Delicious, and handcrafted treats from Ruru Baked.
Getting There and Making a Night of It
Situated right outside Union Station at 55 Front St W, the festival is effortlessly accessible via TTC, GO Transit, and the UP Express. Whether you're dropping by for a quick lunch break, grabbing an after-work drink at the Carlsberg Bar, or settling in for an evening of sports screenings and board games, Union Summer captures the absolute best of summer in the city.
