Harbourfront Centre Festivals

Your cultural year-round destination

Harbourfront Centre is your year-round destination for cultural festivals that celebrate an array of cuisines, visual arts, crafts, music, dance and more!

Our fall and winter seasons boast a variety of annual week-long and weekend-specific festivals. Some of our popular festivals include Day of the Dead in November and Kuumba presented by TD in February.

Our summer season officially expanded in 2011 to include all weekend festivals between Victoria Day and Thanksgiving, as well as re-occurring favourites such as our Longo's Free Flicks film series, International Marketplace and World Café. Stay tuned for our summer 2012 lineup as we'll be announcing it in the new year.
