VT Insider Tip

The Sri Lankan and Caribbean food stalls are the hidden stars. Skip the chain-adjacent stuff and go straight for the family-run spots.

About

Taste of Wexford is a small but mighty street festival on Lawrence Avenue East in Scarborough's Wexford neighbourhood. Local restaurants set up outdoor stalls, there's live music on a community stage, and the whole strip turns into a block party. It's the kind of hyperlocal event that makes Scarborough feel like a village.

What to Expect

A single-day neighbourhood street festival. Food vendors from local restaurants, a community stage, kids' activities. Relaxed and unpretentious.

Pro Tips

Bring cash. Parking is easier here than downtown festivals. Come hungry around 1pm for the best selection before things sell out.
