Free curb to curb celebration!
Friday, July 8

For 2005, the Celebrate Toronto Street Festival launches with a FREE open air celebration hosted by comedian Seán Cullen at Yonge-Dundas Square. This special evening features jazz chanteuse Holly Cole, R&B sensation Jully Black, Celtic rockers Great Big Sea, alt-rock super group Broken Social Scene and Les Girafes — an Urban Operetta from Compagnie Off (France).

The Toronto Branding Project is hosting this evening of incredible entertainment as a thank you to everyone who participated in developing the new Toronto brand by giving their thoughts and opinions about Toronto during the public engagement campaign. How they view Toronto led to the unveiling of a single brand identity for the city — Toronto Unlimited.

I remember a lifetime ago that Yonge street would be blocked off from Richmond all the way up past Dundas for an entire weekend each year. This was long before there was an Eaton Center or 'Yonge/Dundas Square'.

Myself and a few friends would pull all-nighters wandering up & down Yonge partying our brains out hitting all the bars along the strip. It was like a 4-block-long midway with game booths and novelty vendors set up in the middle of the street. One of the few fun times I can remember of that period in my life. Definitely memorable.
