The second annual Parkdale Festival took place on Saturday August 26th from 12:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. at Masaryk-Cowan Park, Queen and Cowan. It was a day of music and art to raise awareness for various Parkdale youth service organizations.
The goal of the day-long music and art festival is to generate interest in youth service organizations by providing a community-based event, said Bryen Dunn, festival innovator. "We really want to make this a fun interactive day for everyone, with the main focus on bringing awareness to what's available in the area for youth, along with providing a full day of great entertainment," he said.
Dunn has lined up a variety of musical acts to perform throughout the day, including some out-of-town acts.
"Right now, there's no one area for youth to go to for information on services available to them," he said. "It's not cohesive or under one umbrella, so that's the main focus of what we're trying to do."
"The lineup is quite diverse, a direct reflection of the Parkdale community, a diverse neigbourhood in West Toronto Ontario" Dunn said, adding that the free event will also offer a children's activity area complete with kids' sidewalk chalk and face-painting stations, wading pool and storytelling sessions. "It's a day of entertainment for the whole family."
