| - Pedestrian Sundays make me happy to be a Torontonian. If you want a true snapshot of what it's like to live in the city, and what the culture is like, then make sure this is a stop on your tour of the city. If you are a local, it's a nice reminder of what you appreciate about Toronto: different people, coming together, appreciating the little and big things, and getting a few good deals.
Aside from the normal Kensington fun, these are the things that I really enjoyed:
- Busy, but not too crowded. I hate the street festivals that are packed to the brim, you can move around comfortably here.
-Mix of people - from Kensington hippies, to tourists, to Chinese grannies with their carts, and everyone in between. There is something for everyone, and everyone is represented.
-Street performers that are actually good! We watched a guy totally rock out on a didgeridoo while playing the drums, a funk band, belly dancers, and a drumming band spontaneously start jamming with some teenage b-boys.
People often complain that people hustle and bustle in this city, not noticing each other. The opposite is true here, people enjoy the atmosphere, the other people, and take their time to enjoy it.
