Description

Back for a third year, we're celebrating the amazing green spaces along Toronto's former Garrison Creek with the Homegrown Park Crawl.This year's Park Crawl will feature food from some of Toronto's top chefs and restaurants, plus kids activities and live music. Participants will sample tasty treats while they flow — by foot, bike and portaged canoe — from park to park alongside adventurous local musical acts. And this year we'll be crawlin' upstream, from Trinity Bellwoods to Christie Pits. Each of the four parks on the route — Christie Pits, Bickford, Fred Hamilton and Trinity Bellwoods — will have entertainment and eco-activities, with food and drink vendors at Trinity Bellwoods and Christie Pits, plus a beer and wine tent at the Pits.
