About this Event
About Little Portugal: "This eclectic, multicultural neighbourhood is filled with all manner of quirky bars, quaint restaurants, independent stores and traditional family-style Portuguese bakeries. Traditionally home to people of Portuguese and Brazilian backgrounds, it’s become even more diverse in recent years. If you’re lucky enough to be here in June there’s the Dundas West Fest - a street party of music, food, dancing and arts." (Destination Toronto)
