After two years on hold, Toronto summer festivals are back in action.<\/p>\n

From music to theatre, cultural celebrations, and family-oriented fun, they\u2019re a perfect way to enjoy something new, discover a neighbourhood, or spend some much-needed time together.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the shows, events, and festivals\u2014indoors and outdoors\u2014that you\u2019ll want to see this summer.<\/p>\n

Beaches International Jazz Festival<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Big Band, Dixieland\u2014the Beaches have it all. This year\u2019s Jazz Festival is already on, but you\u2019ve got all month to catch it at a string of locations in Toronto\u2019s East End Beaches and Leslieville neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n

The main stage shows are the prime attraction, but this year\u2019s jazz festival brings a double handful of fun interactive activities. Learn to swing dance at Jimmie Simpson Park on July 8-9, or see Streetfest transform Queen Street East into a massive, blocks-long concert on the weekend of July 21-23.<\/p>\n

The jazz festival runs from July 2-24, with most events public and free of charge. https:\/\/www.beachesjazz.com\/<\/em><\/p>\n

Toronto Fringe Festival<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s the festival that launched Kim\u2019s Convenience, <\/em>Broadway\u2019s The Drowsy Chaperone, <\/em>and the team behind Come From Away<\/em>. And it\u2019s the most fun way to see what might be next.<\/p>\n

Toronto\u2019s 34th<\/sup> annual Fringe Festival takes over eleven downtown venues this month with theatre, comedy, storytelling, dance, and musicals, as well as a full kids\u2019 program. With over 1,200 independent, grassroots artists, Fringe is the perfect afternoon for anyone who loves new, fun, experimental, and offbeat shows\u2014and it costs less than a good restaurant lunch.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Toronto Fringe runs from July 6-17, 2022. Single or multi-show passes are available now<\/a>, with discounts for kids and teens. https:\/\/fringetoronto.com\/<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Toronto Caribbean Carnival<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Toronto has Caribbean roots\u2014and every year, we like to show it.<\/p>\n

Toronto\u2019s Caribbean Carnival\u2014or Caribana, for us locals\u2014is the largest Carnival celebration in North America. While the major festivities kick off July 28th<\/sup>, Caribana is a month-long ode to everything Caribbean: from calypso showcases to kids\u2019 events to crown junior kings and queens.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s all a buildup to the massive Grand Parade, a whole day of music, dancing, and some of the most incredible costume work anywhere. It\u2019s accompanied by steel pan performances and Carnival Flavours, a showcase for Caribbean food and drink from across the islands.<\/p>\n

The party runs from July 7-30, with tickets and event information available at https:\/\/www.torontocarnival.ca\/<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Canadian National Exhibition<\/strong><\/h3>\n

How about an old-school county fair\u2014but in the city? It\u2019s a Toronto kid\u2019s most beloved cheesy summertime destination\u2014with plenty of room for all ages.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Ex brings back the traditional mix of fairground rides, a late-night midway, a Biggest Vegetable competition<\/a>, kids\u2019 sports tournaments, and everyone\u2019s annual dip into weird food that is bad for you (deep-fried butter, anyone?). There\u2019s also a few steps into the future: a dedicated Gaming Garage<\/a>, complete with esports and FIRST Robotics tournaments.<\/p>\n

For music fans, the Ex is also the place for shockingly cheap live shows. This year\u2019s mix at the Bandshell runs from indie rockers Hawksley Workman and JJ Wilde to familiar Canadian musicians like Gordon Lightfoot, Bruce Cockburn, and The Spoons.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Ex runs from August 19-September 5, with all-day passes available. https:\/\/www.theex.com\/<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Toronto International Film Festival<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Some events put a city on the map. The Toronto International Film Festival does it with a great big star.<\/p>\n

2022 marks the 47th<\/sup> year of this internationally-renowned film festival\u2014one that draws stars, media, and major industry movers and shakers alike to Toronto. It\u2019s a marquee event for film fans\u2014a chance to meet creators, attend Q&As, and see premieres from around the world\u2014and a vital industry conference, wrapped into one. And with programming tracks like quirky cult favourite Midnight Madness or national showcases, it\u2019s a chance for any kind of movie lover to see something sweet, gory, action-packed, incisive, or just plain awesome.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s TIFF runs from September 8-18, and ticket packages are on sale now, with final schedules due at the end of August. https:\/\/tiff.net\/<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

International Festival of Authors<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Toronto\u2019s most prestigious literary festival is back at the Harbourfront Centre for the Arts this September.<\/p>\n

With a hybrid in-person\/online format for its 43rd<\/sup> edition, IFOA is bringing marquee authors for readings, interviews, and panel discussions to highlight what\u2019s important and vital about books.<\/p>\n
