July 2012 Live Green Toronto Festival on Downtown Yonge

The Live Green Toronto Festival will take over Yonge-Dundas Square and downtown Yonge Street between Dundas and Queen Streets on Saturday July 21, 2012. There is no cost to attend or participate in this glimpse of green living in Toronto, one of summer’s most eco-friendly Toronto events.

(Added July 14, 2014): This year I was in time to write “Live Green Toronto Festival 2014 at Yonge-Dundas Square“.

(Added July 27, 2013): The 2013 Live Green Festival in Toronto returned to Yonge Dundas Square today until midnight. So sorry to have missed this year’s announcements.

Celebrate Toronto green living with food, entertainment, and vendors of green products. Yonge-Dundas Square will be much busier than this picture indicates!

Keep your children busy with water-based play as well as plants and animals.

Come prepared to swap entertainment media, from books to CDs and DVDs, with like-minded penny-pinchers and landfill boycotters.

Send an e-mail ahead to reserve an on-site clinic on how to tune up your bicycle, where “on site” means “on Yonge just north of Queen”.
