How many free or frugal ways does Toronto offer to celebrate the Labour Day weekend in 2015? Let’s review some of the annual summer events.

The Harbourfront Hot and Spicy Food Festival of 2015

Harbourfront hosts the Hot and Spicy Food Festival from September 4-7, 2015. This year’s theme is “hot, spicy and sustainable”: be environmentally friendly to ensure future generations can survive, thrive, and enjoy amazing food.

What can you do at Harbourfront during the Hot & Spicy Festival? Shop for food, especially spices, each day. (Friday from 6pm; on the weekend from noon). Children have their own activities from Saturday through Labour Day Monday. Listen to music in the evenings. Take in cooking classes or demonstrations by a variety of chefs.

Actually, what really catches my eye is the Terrance Drake Fire Show: family friendly but with actual flames. Lots of flames, judging by the photo.

The Hot and Spicy Food Festival is free to attend at Harbourfront at 235 Queen’s Quay West in downtown Toronto. Take the subway to Union Station, then catch the streetcar.

More details await you on Harbourfront’s web page for the 2015 Hot and Spicy Food Festival.

The 2015 Air Show at the CNE

While you’re at Harbourfront on Saturday, Sunday or Monday, slip outside anytime between noon and 3pm and look west along the water’s edge.

That’s when the Canadian National Exhibition hosts the annual Air Show above the CNE grounds.

The focal point for the aerial acrobatics is just offshore, due south of the CNE grounds. Unless it’s incredibly foggy, you can see and hear plenty from Harbourfront. (And do you think the Air Show would go on if it is foggy?)

While the CNE offers a lot of excitement on the grounds, the Air Show is a free annual event if you simply get anywhere close with a clear line of sight.

The 2015 Vietnamese Lantern Festival of Toronto

Dufferin Grove Park hosts the free Vietnamese Lantern Festival of Toronto on Saturday September 5 from 2-5pm.

This is a “mid-autumn festival” or moon festival, celebrating the harvest in Vietnam. Many Asian cultures celebrate with moon cakes and lanterns or lights.

Watch the lanterns, enjoy the performances, and send your children into the kids’ activities. Of course food vendors, as well as artisans and local businesses, will offer their wares, too.

Dufferin Grove Park is at 875 Dufferin St. Park East. Just walk south from the Dufferin station on the #2 Bloor-Danforth subway line.

More information (but, as of press time, not the schedule) is available on the Toronto Vietnamese Lantern Festival web site.

The 2015 Hispanic Fiesta at Mel Lastman Square

Another annual Toronto event is the Hispanic Fiesta at Mel Lastman Square. This year’s fiesta runs from Sept. 4-7, 2015.

Friday night’s program starts with Xtravanganza at 7:15pm, and music at 8:30. Throughout the Labour Day weekend, programs begin at 3pm.

Naturally, you will find Spanish cuisine… and a lot of Spanish… at the Hispanic Fiesta. Take the #1 Yonge subway up to the North York Centre station; and follow your ears to Mel Lastman Square.

The Toronto Hispanic Fiesta web site has more details.

Labour Day Fireworks at Canada’s Wonderland

Canada’s Wonderland continues its annual summer tradition of hosting a fireworks show on the Sunday night before Labour Day. Wonder Mountain should be well lit at 10pm on Sept. 6, 2015.

Just don’t even think about watching it for free from a highway. Either pay your entry fee and stay the day; or find a line of sight from a safe place in the suburbs.

Where can you see Labour Day fireworks in Toronto? Toronto does not host a fireworks display this weekend; so Canada’s Wonderland is the venue nearest Toronto.

You could drive even farther, to see fireworks at Niagara Falls on Friday night, Sunday night or Monday night (since it’s Labour Day).

Your Choice of Labour Day Parades for 2015

Remember the roots of “Labour Day”: a celebration of workers’ hard-won rights. The annual Toronto Labour Day Parade will begin at 9:30am on Labour Day, Monday Sept. 7, 2015, at the corner of Queen St. W. and University Ave. Various unions march in solidarity in this parade.

Watch the parade anywhere on Queen St. between University Ave. and Dufferin, or south on Dufferin into the CNE grounds.

Thanks for reading about these six free (or frugal, if you’re careful) annual summer events for the 2015 Labour Day weekend in Toronto.

The 2015 Toronto Buskerfest returns to Yonge Street from Thursday through Sunday, August 27-30.

So what’s new at this annual summer Toronto event? (Updated with photos I took Aug. 28, 2015).

Innovations at Toronto Buskerfest 2015

Judging from their web site, Buskerfest Toronto has three main innovations.

First, their Family Fun Zone has expanded along Yonge St. between College & Gerrard. The Scotiabank Tent hosts the workshops and many activities. The Family Fun Zone Stage has performances from 12:30-6:30pm.

The second new service is valet parking for your bicycle. Cycle Toronto will operate valet parking for about 200 bicycles. Head to Dundas St. West between Yonge and Bay Streets, where the Cycle Toronto tent will be pitched. The system works like a coat check: get a ticket stub when you leave your bike with them; trade the stub for your bicycle once you’ve been Buskered.

Third, you can pre-register for a 5Km Epilepsy Walk to be held on Sunday Aug. 30 at 10am at 468 Queen St. East (at Sackville). The “Purple Walk” fund-raiser supports Epilepsy Toronto. The official Epilepsy Toronto Purple Walk web page explains more and has a link for registration or donations.

Toronto Buskerfest offers a blend of new and returning performers, so it’s worth a visit every year.

The Nitty Gritty for Toronto Buskerfest 2015

Toronto Buskerfest 2015 runs on Yonge Street from College/Carlton south to Queen Street on Aug. 27-30. (Noon through 11pm on the two weekdays; 11am-11pm on Sat.; and 11am-8pm on Sunday). That section of Yonge Street will be closed to north/south traffic.

The #1 Yonge subway line has stops at College, Dundas and Queen. The TTC also operates the 501 Queen, 505 Dundas and 506 Carlton streetcars which should be running despite the Yonge Street closure. (Updated Aug. 28, 2015): This afternoon, I saw the 506 Carlton streetcars running just fine. While jogging toward Yonge St. along Gerrard, past Ryerson University, I nearly ran right through Buskerfest because Gerrard was open to vehicles.

As noted, the valet parking for bikes makes cycling a really good option.

Almost everything is outdoors, so wear your sunscreen lotion, baseball cap, and carry an umbrella.

Toronto Buskerfest supports Epilepsy Toronto, so they’d like you to pay a toonie to enter the grounds. Each busker act passes the hat at the end of the performance, so bring a fair number of loonies, toonies, fives and tens. Even a person as frugal as myself sees the value in paying these amazing performers for their live up-close-and-personal shows. Buskerfest is your best chance to see these great Canadian and international buskers.

Regular readers know I’ve promoted Buskerfest Toronto in previous years. If you still need more details, the official Toronto Buskerfest web site has them.
