Geary Art Crawl, Toronto’s beloved street festival, returns to the popular neighbourhood this weekend. It’ll feature two days of art, music and shopping. However, this year will be a little different. Here’s what to know.

When is the Geary Art Crawl festival in Toronto?

The Geary Art Crawl will take place March 7 and 8, 2026. It’s funded in part by the City of Toronto and the Province of Ontario, and it’s presented and produced by Uma Nota Culture.

Since its beginning, the experience has been more than just a festival. “It’s been a cozy, colourful celebration of community, creativity and neighbourly joy,” share organizers. “What started as a humble local art walk has grown into a beloved two-day gathering that brings Geary Avenue alive with art, music and shared smiles.”

What to expect

So expect all the best that Geary has to offer, like free artist-run workshops, delicious eats and drinks, crafts, comics, and much more. RSVPs can be made online for select workshops if you’re eager to participate. But there won’t be a road closure this year.

“That just means the heart of Geary keeps beating with its vibrant, everyday life, with art and community sprinkled all throughout. This crawl is about connection, not barriers,” adds organizers.

According to its official website, the March edition will take place inside venues along Geary Avenue, with an outdoor hub to gather all together.

Although we yearn for outdoor festivals again, considering it’s anticipated to be a rainy one this weekend, an indoor festival sounds more than ideal.

See you there, Toronto!
