One of North America’s largest South Asian street festivals, TD Festival of South Asia 2026, returns on July 11th and 12th, transforming Toronto’s iconic Gerrard India Bazaar into a vibrant hub of South Asian cultural celebration, music, food, art, and community.

Returning for its 24th edition, the two-day cultural festival will feature more than 300 artists and performers across three dynamic stages, showcasing everything from Bollywood and Bhangra to Qawwali, folk, fusion, classical, and contemporary South Asian music and dance.

Guests can expect interactive dance workshops, art installations, murals, a vibrant marketplace, a cultural wellness space, and a dedicated kids zone with family-friendly activities. The festival will also feature community activations, including Soccer Mania, interactive fan experiences, and live entertainment throughout the weekend.

Food lovers can explore exclusive and iconic dishes from across South Asia, including Mohabbat Ka Sharbat, Desi Burgers, Indian Chicken Tikka, authentic Afghan cuisine, and more.

Visitors will also have the opportunity to learn more about the history of Gerrard India Bazaar through the Heritage Toronto activation booth. Guided walking tours by Culinary Adventures Co. will also take guests through the stories, flavours, and hidden gems of Little India.

With two days of music, food, culture, and community programming, TD Festival of South Asia 2026 is set to bring the energy and vibrancy of South Asian culture back to the heart of Toronto this summer.
