VT Insider Tip
The classic car show is surprisingly good — Italian and American muscle cars line the street. The older bakeries along the strip do special pastries for the festival.
About
Before College Street was 'Little Italy,' Corso Italia on St. Clair West was the heart of Toronto's Italian community. The Fiesta brings that heritage roaring back with a massive street festival. Italian food, live music, a classic car show, and a genuine neighbourhood atmosphere that's more old-school than its downtown counterpart.
What to Expect
A weekend street festival on St. Clair West. Italian food, live entertainment, car show, vendor booths. Less tourist-heavy than Taste of Little Italy — more of a genuine neighbourhood celebration.
Pro Tips
Walk the side streets around Corso Italia during the festival. The neighbourhood has hidden cafes and delis that open their doors wider for the weekend.
Getting There
St. Clair Avenue West between Dufferin and Lansdowne. Take the 512 St. Clair streetcar. Street parking is available on side streets.
