About Pedestrian Sundays Baldwin Village 2009
Pedestrian Sundays were imagined as a community building event centered on values of culture and ecology to celebrate diversity in Baldwin Village. Our moto is ‘streets are for people’ and we promote car free days. Our inaugural year in 2007 was a great success and involved the participation of many folks from or visiting our community. In 2008, we celebrated again and this year, look to build on past successes.
The merchants and residents of Baldwin Village invite visitors to join them this summer as they once again introduce Toronto's best-kept secret to the city. Why settle for just a taste of one culture when here you can taste the world! Cuisines of Japan, China, Thailand, Korea, Mexico, France, India and cosmopolitan Toronto all located on one quaint street.
We look forward to having you, your family and friends join us to celebrate the community through dance, art, performance art, music and let's not forget food!
Location: Baldwin St. Toronto, ON

Why was I so worried? I had enthusiastic audience participation. The folks in the crowd clapped and sang along with me and everybody had a great time. After my performance, a woman with two youngsters in tow stopped me to say she had been about to step into the shower when her children called out "Mom, there's a woman singing at the fair. It sounds like the kinda of music you would love."
