New festival, who dis? One thing about Toronto is that you can always count on the city to have a festival around the corner. The only thing more exciting is when a new festival is added to the roster. Water/Fall Festival will hold its inaugural festivities at the city’s waterfront, happening over two action-packed weekends.
Here’s what to know before you go.
Water/Fall Festival will run from Sept. 27 to 28 and from Oct. 4 to 5, and is completely free to attend.
“Locals and visitors are all invited to experience Toronto’s waterfront in a new way this Fall — with a trail of markets, events and art exhibits across a two km stretch of Queens Quay,” says Tim Kocur, executive director of the Waterfront BIA.
“Framed by the colour of changing leaves and crisp autumn air, the Water/Fall Festival will be a way to rediscover the energy of the waterfront through food, arts and culture experiences and live entertainment,” Kocur continues.
The fest will include a lineup of activities and things to see, including:
Festivities will be spread out over various waterfront locations, such as Toronto Music Garden, Harbourfront Centre, HTO Park, and Spadina Pier.
Can you think of anything better than listening to some live music, eating some delicious food, all cozied up in a knit sweater, with the waterfront and fall colours as your backdrop?
I can’t. See you at the Water/Fall Festival, Toronto.
When: Sept. 27 to 28 and Oct. 4 to 5, 2025
Where: Toronto’s waterfront
Cost: Free admission
