Parkdale
Youth Festival

This year's annual Parkdale Youth Festival takes place on Saturday September 19th 2009 at Masaryk-Cowan Park, Queen and Cowan. It’s a day of family entertainment to raise awareness for various Parkdale youth service organizations.

There’s definitely a need for awareness of available service organizations within the Parkdale area, whether this be for help in finding a job, finding a place to stay, or getting the next meal. The goal of the Festival is to create awareness by providing a fun interactive community based event. The end result is to create an accessible reference database of services that are available to youth.

The Festival will be comprised of various components, including an "Interactive Art Zone" where individuals can contribute to a “mural of street art". At the end of the day these pieces will be offered to various community organizations in hopes that they are proudly displayed. Throughout the day there will also be a variety of performances, a children’s activity area and wading pool, a Marketplace of local artisans and vendors, and a Community Information Fair with displays of materials from various youth organizations.

The Official
Manifesto Afterparty

Increasingly ridiculous for 2 years running, the Manifesto afterparty is one of the biggest events of the year. We're doing our best to top the mayhem of the '07 and '08 jams, which is a tall order.. So we're throwing a dual venue banger at Mod Club and Revival simultaneously. That's right people - One wristband gets you access to both of what promise to be truly legendary celebrations of another festival in the bag for the city of Toronto. Do not miss this. Boom.
