This event has ended
The 17th Toronto Waterfront Night Market, also called WNMFEST, returns Friday through Sunday, August 14–16, 2026 at Hotel X on the Exhibition Grounds, 115 Princes' Blvd. It is a Qixi, or Double Seventh, weekend: pan-Asian food, a floating-lantern set, and a music stage.
Friday starts at 6 p.m. Saturday starts at 4 p.m. Sunday starts at 2 p.m. Nights run late. Friday and Saturday are 19+ with ID. Sunday is all ages, and kids 12 and under get in free with a ticketed adult.
General admission for Friday is about $29 before tax, and a lantern is included. Boozy and VIP tiers cost more. Buy before you go. Exhibition Place parking and the streetcar to Exhibition Loop are the usual approaches. Do not count on a cheap last-minute lot.
Taste of Manila is the free Bathurst street festival the same weekend if you want Little Manila instead of a ticketed lot. Later in the month, Toronto TAIWANfest at Harbourfront is the free culture weekend.
When: August 14–16, 2026 (Fri 6 p.m., Sat 4 p.m., Sun 2 p.m.)
Where: Hotel X Toronto, 115 Princes' Blvd, Exhibition Grounds, Toronto, ON
