A free outdoor art festival with food trucks and a DJ is coming to Toronto

Toronto’s art scene is taking over the Bentway for an entire day of art, entertainment and delicious eats. If you’re looking for the perfect way to kick off your summer, get ready for the Toronto Art Crawl.

On Saturday, May 31, 2025, more than 180 local artists will set up shop under the Gardiner Expressway for an epic one-day outdoor market. From noon to 6 p.m., visitors can browse, shop, and connect directly with the talented creators behind some of the city’s most unique pieces.

What to expect

This isn’t your average market either. You’ll find original art, photography, sculptures, handmade jewellery, fashion, home decor, skincare, and so much more. These are all one-of-a-kind items that you won’t see in regular stores.

Whether you’re on the hunt for a special gift, looking to upgrade your space, or simply want to support local creatives, this is the place to do it.

What’s the vibe, you may ask? A full-on celebration. With food vendors dishing out delicious eats and DJ Kid Artik spinning live music throughout the day, this shopping event is a party!

Feel free to dance between booths, snack while you shop, and soak up the energy of the city’s vibrant creative scene.

Best of all, the event is completely free to attend. Leashed pets are also welcome, so feel free to bring your furry friends along for the fun. Whether you’re coming for the art, the music, or just to spend the afternoon outdoors, there’s something for everyone.

Mark your calendar and head to The Bentway at 250 Fort York Blvd. on May 31. This one-day-only event has become an annual favourite for a reason.
