About the Festival

The Toronto Waterfront Festival is an annual summer event that began in 2010. Each year the festival features on-land and on-water entertainment including live music, food, kids activities, nautical programs and more. Every three years, the event welcomes a fleet of majestic tall ships to Toronto. The Festival is open to the public and free for everyone to attend.  

The Toronto Waterfront Festival is produced by Water’s Edge Festivals & Events (WEFE). WEFE is an Ontario not-for-profit corporation created in 2011. WEFE’s objectives include: producing exceptional annual family festivals; providing a strong economic impact for Toronto and Ontario; and building strategic partnerships locally, regionally and nationally, including significant stakeholders along the waterfront.
