Dear Friends:
Welcome to the Taste of Lawrence Festival website. Each year in July, “the Taste” brings people to Toronto’s most multi-cultural neighbourhood to celebrate our city’s diversity. The tens of thousands of people who attend the festival enjoy a family-friendly cornucopia of food and entertainment as they stroll along Lawrence Avenue East and mingle with their neighbours. The dates for this event are Friday, July 2nd, Saturday, July 3rd and Sunday, July 5th, 2010.
We are very proud that each year, the Taste grows larger and more lively, attracting people from across Canada and around the world to one of our city’s great cultural events. We hope you find this website useful, and hope that you will come and celebrate with us at the Taste of Lawrence festival this year. Please have a look at the list of great entertainment and activities that are going on during the Taste of Lawrence.
See you at the Taste,
