Toronto 
OssFest is making a highly anticipated return for its 7th edition this Saturday.
OssFest
The beloved street festival is set to take over the Ossington Strip between Dundas St W and Queen St W.
OssFest kicks off with a morning health and wellness feature, where local businesses and artisans will showcase their goods throughout the day. With over 25 extended patios, the festival provides a vibrant atmosphere, complemented by music and entertainment programming that extends into the evening. It’s a family-friendly and dog-friendly event that celebrates the neighbourhood and the spirit of Toronto.
Hosted by Toronto music legend Rudy Blair, the lineup on OSS Fest’s North Stage is a vibrant tribute to the city’s dynamic music scene. Acts include The Reposadists with jazzy flair, The Raider Raiders bringing funky horns, and Nelson Sobral’s bluesy Americana. Lucille & Friends, Gruvoria, and Iliya Vee’s Hypothesis deliver powerful soul, jazz, and lyrical rock. The Roncy Boys add glam-theatre chaos, U.N. Jefferson revives Motown soul, and Dopamine Dream closes with dreamy indie-psych.
The South Stage on Ossington Ave at Queen St W features live music and drag performances. The lineup includes DJ Bop Pills, DJ Strange L-U-V, Cheek Cabaret, Allysin Chaynes, Karamilk, Paris Matik, Live Laugh La Vodka, Pickles Lavey, DJ Tre Mayne, and many more.
To accommodate the festivities, Ossington Avenue will be closed to vehicle traffic from 5 a.m. on Saturday, July 26th until 5am on Sunday, July 27th. Any vehicles remaining on Ossington Avenue between Queen St W and Dundas St W at 5 am on Saturday will be towed to a nearby street free of charge.
