Walk of Fame Festival has been going strong for five years and this year is no different. The festival has a free outdoor street festival in Yonge-Dundas Square throughout the entire event. From September 25-28 there will be comedy, music acts and it features Canada’s stars of tomorrow. Here are few things to check out during the festival.
The Massey Hall Concerts
On the 25th Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahry perform. The local fiddling duo will take over Massey Hall with quite the energy as they pull from their traditional heritage. Also performing with them are Johnny Reid and Jimmy Rankin. Tickets can be purchased here.
On the 26th, hear iconic The Tea Party as they rock on their 20th anniversary national tour. They’ll be performing their album “The Edges of Twilight.” You read right! They’re performing the entire album which should make for an eventful night. Grab your tickets here.
The Horseshoe Tavern Music Showcase
September 28th there will be a music showcase featuring Canada’s rising stars including Ascot Royals, The Beaches, Ria Mae and the Bellwoods. Tickets are $10 and that’s a great price to see what Canada’s future music scene has to offer. You can say you were jamming to some of these guys before anyone else was. (Tickets)
