Celebrating The Flavours of the Islands: Caribbean Street Food Festival 2025 Highlights

Held on August 31st at Riverside Common Park in Toronto’s Riverside neighbourhood, the Caribbean Street Food Festival was a flavourful showcase of Caribbean culture and food! Local vendors came together to bring a gustatory experience to the East End.

We would like to extend our gratitude to Jamaican Eats for putting together a fantastic celebration and to extend our gratitude to all those who joined in: thank YOU for spending your Sunday afternoon together and partaking of all the delicious Caribbean fare.

We acknowledge and thank the City of Toronto, Government of Canada and FedDev Ontario for support of this event as part of the ‘Riverside Ramps it Up’ project through the Transit Expansion Construction Mitigation Fund 2025.
