Taste of Manila 2026 in North York

SPARC's Taste of Manila returns Saturday and Sunday, August 15–16, 2026 along Bathurst Street from Wilson Avenue toward Laurelcrest in North York's Little Manila. Entry is free. Hours are 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday.

They call it Canada's largest Filipino street festival, with more than 500,000 visitors across the weekend. Even if that number is generous, the street will feel like it. This is the whole corridor, not a plaza pop-up.

There are 150-plus vendors and three stages named for Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. A cultural parade and visiting Sparkle / GMA artists are on the bill. See the festival site that week for who sings where.

Come for the food first. Stay if a stage or the parade lines up. TTC to Wilson Station is the move. Driving Bathurst that weekend is a dare.

This is the GTA Filipino weekend. Maha Onam is the same dates if that is your other plan. Toronto TAIWANfest at Harbourfront is the quieter late-August day.

When: August 15–16, 2026 (Sat 9 a.m.–11 p.m., Sun 9 a.m.–8 p.m.)
Where: Bathurst St & Wilson Ave, North York, Toronto, ON
