The 2014 Toronto International Film Festival kicked off on Thursday, sweeping the city with the festival's first wave of premieres and parties. The stars were out, with luminaries like Robert Downey Jr. hitting the red carpet - but for those who didn't wait in line to spy their favourite actors, there was still plenty of fun to be had. TIFF's first-ever street fest took over King West with roaring musical performances and tons of fun activities, and if you knew where to go afterward, there were some killer parties happening at Studio Event Theatre and the Drake.
