A special thank you to our local business community for their invest-ment in the festival; and to our sponsors for their generous support. A shout out to our dedicated volunteers who give countless hours of their time to make this festival a success.

Enjoy your time here this weekend and we hope you experience all that Taste of Lawrence has to offer. Best of all, admission is Free!

Enjoy the Taste!

Welcome to the Taste of Lawrence Festival 2019!

For fifteen years, the Festival has transformed Lawrence Avenue East into Toronto’s most-vibrant, multicultural on-street event. I founded the Festival along with a handful of local business owners as a way to bring the community together in a celebration of our diversity. Now, well over a million people from across Canada and around the world have come to Toronto’s most ethnically diverse neighbourhood to sample our exquisite cuisines, watch family-friendly entertainment and experience the energy of our people, our community and our city.

Our 2019 “Taste” festival features an impressive on-stage array of local performing artists, flanked by a street packed with mouth-watering foods, local businesses and carnival games and rides. While you’re here, come say hello to my staff and I at my booth located just steps away from the main stage.

It’s Scarborough’s signature summer event with fun for everyone in the family and our community couldn’t be prouder to be hosting. July just isn’t complete without a day or two at the Taste.

I’ll see you there,

Michael Thompson
