The Beaches Jazz Festival is a free, month-long street festival held in July that brings Toronto's East Side into a frenzy with live music and food trucks.

The festival consists of five different events from July 5 to 28 and includes a total of 1,000 jazz performances by local and international artists.

Event venues include Jimmy Simpson Park, Woodbine Park, and Queen Street East.

Considering the fact that this festival is free and long, there is no excuse not to participate in it. You can dance the night away, or just walk around and enjoy the music.
