Toronto Taste
12 June 2022
Toronto Taste is a celebration of exquisite cuisine, fine wines and stunning waterfront scenery. The annual fundraising event brings together more than 70 top chefs and 30 of Ontario's premier vintners and beverage companies, and is the biggest fundraising event supporting Canada's largest food-rescue charity, Second Harvest. The charity collects perishable food that would otherwise go to waste and redistributes it to community organisations that feed hungry people in Toronto. The festival has raised funds for as many as 1.9 million meals, making Toronto Taste not only a memorable celebration of cuisine, but also a major contributor to a worthy cause.

The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is perhaps the largest of its kind that is open to the general public. Unlike Sundance and Cannes, which screen a number of independent features and world-cinema projects, Toronto's famous film festival has a glamorous Hollywood sheen to it. Many filmmakers and studio bosses consider it to be a successful launching platform for the crazy awards season that eventually climaxes with the Academy Awards in February. TIFF screens nearly 400 films at various venues in downtown Toronto, attracting audiences amounting to more than 480,000 people, with only around 5,000 of them industry professionals.

Toronto Fringe Theatre Festival
6 — 17 Jul 2022
The Fringe Festival continues to be Toronto's liveliest grassroots-theatre experience. Throughout the city, thousands of artists perform comedy, cabaret, music, poetry, drama and classics to their adoring crowds. What sets the Toronto Fringe Festival apart is that judges do not select its list of plays. Instead, a lottery process determines participation, giving all entrants an equal chance to perform. This ensures a huge variety of productions and a festival that consistently leads to the discovery of fresh artists and plays.
