Enjoy Canadian summer! Introducing summer events held in Toronto

Nice to meet you! This is my first post on the Beyond Blog. I'm TK, an engineer working in the Canadian office

Speaking of Canada, you might imagine it as a cold country. Yes, that's correct. Snow starts falling every year around November, and temperatures stay below zero until around April

On the other hand, in the summer the temperature doesn't rise that much, the humidity is low, and the sun sets at 9:30pm, so the days are long and it's very comfortable

Since it's summer, there are a lot of events happening between June and September. Here we'll introduce a selection of annual events that anyone can enjoy!

 

Taste of the Danforth

Toronto's largest street festival, held every June, is held in Greektown on the east side of the city, and features Greek food stalls, a traveling carnival, street performances, and more. This is a popular event that marks the start of summer in Toronto

Toronto also hosts a street festival called "Taste of..." during the summer, featuring festivals from various countries and regions
