A Toronto street once recognized as the “coolest in the world” is getting ready for its annual summer bash. OssFest will showcase the best of the Ossington strip and will take over the busy street for an entire day this July.

Mark your calendars for July 26, 2025, and get ready to immerse yourself in the vibrant energy of OssFest this summer. From Dundas Street W. to Queen Street W., Ossington Avenue will transform into the ultimate summer destination.

What to expect

The fun-filled event returns for a pedestrian takeover, featuring local businesses from artisans to beloved restaurants.

Just like years prior, expect shopping opportunities, along with music and entertainment programming into the evening.

At the moment, the Ossington BIA is welcoming vendor applications for the festival. It’s important to note that they do not allow food trucks, and approved food vendors will be extremely limited as “there is a high participation rate from the member hospitality business,” according to its Instagram post.

The BIA is mostly looking for fashion vendors, artisans, or those that sell pre-packaged foods.

“It is family-friendly, dog-friendly, and is a fantastic way to celebrate the neighbourhood and Toronto,” shares the BIA on its site.

As people gather to party on one of the coolest streets in the world, everyone is invited to join in the festivities and experience the heartbeat of the neighbourhood.

More details as to what you can expect will be announced soon. We’ll be sure to keep you updated, so stay tuned.
