A multi-day street festival is bringing a modern twist on a classic summer carnival back to the streets of Toronto this June – and everything from the rides to the entertainment is completely free.
Fairbank Summerfest has been a beloved neighbourhood tradition for over 15 years, transforming Eglinton Avenue West into a lively, three-day extravaganza.
Presented by the Fairbank Village BIA, this celebration blends culture, cuisine, and community on a scale that keeps growing every single year—in fact, the festival welcomed a staggering 110,000 attendees last summer alone, making it one of the absolute largest neighborhood street festivals in Toronto.
Spanning multiple city blocks, the street will be packed with food trucks, vendors, and endless family-friendly activities. For the little ones, the entire area will be taken over with midway carnival rides, jumping castles, and even a dedicated trackless train. The main stage will also be buzzing all weekend long, featuring live performers, musicians, and cultural showcases.
The best part? Fairbank Summerfest is completely free to attend. That includes admission, the midway rides, and all of the live entertainment.

Fairbank Summerfest will take over Eglinton Avenue West just west of Dufferin Street on June 19, 20, and 21, 2026. You can find the full entertainment lineup, food vendor list, and schedule details on the Fairbank Summerfest website.
