Evergreen Brickworks full of summer activities 2025

Don Valley Brickworks opened in 1889 producing bricks and other clay products fired in kilns and closed in 1984, abandoned in time it finally found a purpose when it opened in 2010 as an urban park, heritage site and event space. There is something to be found at the site, located at 550 Bayview Avenue in Toronto, year round now but it really peaks in summer when there is so much going on. You can look at the events at their website here.
