Since 1978 the Parkdale Village BIA has funded and/or produced dozens of community Festivals and Events, most recently, from 2013 till 2019 the neighbourhoods key event ‘Spring into Parkdale Sidewalk Festival & Night Market’ was produced entirely by the BIA staff, with support from sponsors.
Recent Events
A new vision
The Parkdale Village BIA is extremely proud of the ‘Spring into Parkdale Sidewalk Festival & Night Market’ – the annual outdoor street festival featured a sidewalk sale with over 100 vendors, live entertainment and FREE family-friendly activities. The 1.4km sidewalk sale, included 4 markets, a 10,000 sq.ft. outdoor Night Market showcasing Parkdale’s eclectic food and chefs, and a 10,000 sq.ft. Kids Zone as well as the Little Tibet Market!
However, the BIA will no longer be producing the Spring Festival. With the guidance of the most recent BIA Members Survey results, the BIA is excited to announce that the Festival funds will be reallocated to other projects which can service the community 12 months out of the year, such as;
- Street Cleaning + Maintenance
- Community Safety + Crime Prevention
- Funding & resources for seasonal events & festivals within the area that are produced by local agencies, businesses, residents and community groups.
