Toronto street known among 'world's coolest' is throwing a huge party this summer
Toronto, your chance to party it up on one of the "coolest streets in the world" is coming up very soon, as OssFest 2026 makes its highly anticipated return this summer.
Held on Ossington Avenue, specifically along the ever-popular stretch between Dundas West and Queen West, OssFest celebrates its eighth anniversary this year. And you know what that means: another party packed with delicious food and entertainment to keep the energy going all day long.
The fact that you'll be turning up on a strip that Time Out Magazine once dubbed one of the "coolest streets in the world," well, it's to say this block party is the place to be this summer.
Like every year, OssFest is shaping up to be anything but disappointing for the 2026 season.
With Dundas West and Queen West serving as go-to destinations for top-notch eats and a shopping scene that's hard to beat, the festival will feature more than 25 restaurants offering extended patios and live performances to keep the pedestrian-only party buzzing from start to finish.
According to the Ossington BIA's official Instagram account, the strip is going to have even more CafeTO curb lane patios this year, ensuring that organizers are able to showcase "the best that Ossington has to offer."
Though planning is still in its early stages, the OssFest 2026 Vendor Open Call is now officially underway. Those interested in joining this year's lineup have until April 30 to submit their applications.
OssFest 2026 is set to take place on July 25 from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., with more details expected to roll out in the coming weeks.
