10 festivals in Toronto this spring you won't want to miss

I'll just go ahead and say what we're all thinking: festivals in Toronto have got to be among the best things to come out of spring and summer in the city.

Whether it's a week-long extravaganza featuring performances and talks by high-profile guests or easy, breezy community gatherings with live music and food vendors, there's something undeniably magical about hitting the streets and sidewalks alongside thousands of your closest friends and celebrating the sunshine.

Now that spring is officially here (even though we've got a few more chilly weeks to wait through until things really heat up) it's time to start getting excited about the myriad festivals that'll take over Toronto streets and event venues for the next few months.

Here's our roundup of festivals in Toronto this spring you won't want to miss.
