Now in its 34th year, the Beaches Arts & Crafts show is one of the Toronto Beach Community's most popular and favorite annual events -- bringing together locals and tourists over some of the best Canadian handmade artwork.
The event runs for two days in the Kew Gardens Park of Toronto's Beach area, becoming home to over 150 of Canada's talented designers, artists and artisans. The event gives consumers the opportunity to shop for an assortment of nationally and locally sourced goods that include fine art, jewelry, fashion pieces, home and garden decor, gourmet food and natural body care products.
Run in support of the Neighborhood Link Support Services non-profit agency that works to help youth, newcomers, seniors and unemployed in the east Toronto community to live independently, the Beaches Arts & Crafts Show offers free admission for two days of culture-filled fun June 9th and 10th.
