2006
A combination of incredible entertainment and spectacular weather brought an estimated audience of 1 million residents and visitors out onto Toronto’s famous Yonge Street for the 8th annual Celebrate Toronto Street Festival on July 7, 8 & 9, 2006.
At the core of the Celebrate Toronto Street Festival’s success is the incredible free cultural programming the event delivers to Toronto residents and visitors.
No other Toronto festival showcases the sheer scope and diversity of Toronto’s vibrant arts and cultural offerings.
Highlights of the festival included the Friday night’s spectacular Opening Celebration at Yonge-Dundas Square featuring the sounds of Tomi Swick, Rosette, Jane Bunnett and the world premiere of Circus Orange’s Tricycle.
The 2006 Celebrate Toronto Street Festival also included the very successful third annual summer restaurant promotion, Summerlicious presented by American Express. Although the numbers are not in for Summerlicious 2006, in previous years in excess of 137,000 meals were served over the 14-day promotion. With 130 of Toronto's top dining establishments offering incredible value and exclusive prix fixe menus for this year's promotion, Summerlicious is certainly on track to surpass all previous records.
