A highly-anticipated block party is returning to Toronto this weekend, turning the iconic Church-Wellesley Village into the base for Canada’s biggest free Halloween party once again.
Halloween on Church comes back on for two thrilling nights on October 30 and 31, transforming six city blocks into a pedestrian-only celebration filled with epic costumes and entertainment.
From jaw-dropping getups and high-energy music to local bars and restaurants keeping their doors open until 4 a.m., you’ll get to wander through one of the country’s most electric street festivals, take in incredible drag performances, and soak up the lively community spirit.
Head over to the corner of Church and Maitland to check out the Witches’ Brew Beer Garden, which will feature a massive stage show hosted by Jaret. The star-studded entertainment lineup includes performances by local drag legend Sofonda, Canada’s Drag Race alum BOA, Latin queens Ari Darlin and Georgina Hudson, and spot-on tributes to Michael Jackson, Dolly Parton, and Lady Gaga.
Guests can also expect live vocals from OMG Classic and Paris Sanford, energetic sets by house DJ Cozmic Cat, go-go dancers, and a runway fashion show presented by The Men’s Room.
Admission to the street festival is completely free, making it easy to drop in and join the crowds. Make sure to arrive early to get a prime spot, because thousands of revelers are expected to pack the streets!
Halloween on Church will take place along Church Street spanning from Carlton Street to Gloucester Street on Friday, October 30 from 8 p.m. to midnight and Saturday, October 31 from 5 p.m. to midnight.
