Toronto's
Queen West Art Crawl Festival (QWAC) takes place within Trinity-Bellwoods Park, which is a perfect place to stage the arts festival. This year the festival is the September 20-21 weekend and there are plenty of artists and vendors involved along the paths throughout the southern portion of the large park.
QWAC, which I think of as quack, runs a number of events that benefit both artists and local residents and their two-day multidisciplinary, outdoor arts festival gets over twenty thousand attendees every year. The artists tents are located around and within the circular and bisecting paths while the site also hosts a main stage and kids zone. The event boasts of over 100 artists, live music, food and more.
From QWAC website, "Queen West Art Crawl creates an open, public space for arts and culture in a busy downtown neighbourhood. Our festival includes a 2SLGBT+ friendly Kids' Zone and a Main Stage with Music and Drag that is 50%+ BIPOC. To ensure that underserved populations are strongly represented in our art exhibit, we partner with groups, including Workman Arts and the Native Canadian Centre of Toronto, donating spaces for artists with lived mental health experiences and local Indigenous populations, that are recommended to us through their own communities."
