Festival of India in Toronto

The past four decades have witnessed the Festival of India blossom into one of Toronto’s most dazzling, head-turning summer events. We are excited to announce that the 46th Annual Festival of India (also known as Ratha yatra) will be taking place on July 14 and 15, 2018.

The event will begin with a euphoric parade down world-famous Yonge Street (beginning at Bloor and continuing south to Queens Quay). The celebrations then will shift to Toronto Centre Island, for two days of festivities.

The festival is open to the public and free for everyone. Get more information by checking the links inside the menu above.
