Toronto’s waterfront has been a gathering place where people have walked, traded, and celebrated for thousands of years. The Redpath Waterfront Festival offers an annual chance to experience Toronto’s expansive lakefront from past to present in a whole new way.

The Festival will celebrate the last weekend of summer by featuring unique on-land and on-water programs including Parks Canada, the Royal Canadian Navy, and Theodore TOO Tugboat. With music, food, nautical programs, and entertainment, the festival has something for everyone to enjoy. Every three years, the event welcomes a fleet of majestic tall ships to Toronto.
