TORONTO — Youth Day 2012 will hit Yonge-Dundas Square on Sunday, July 22, from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. This year, “the largest festival of its kind” is expected to attract 30,000 visitors.
Created in 2005, Youth Day Toronto is a free public event that celebrates the positive achievements of young artists through 10 hours of non-stop dance and music performances on two outdoor stages, as well as a Youth Gallery featuring paintings, sculptures, jewelry, drawings, photography and presentations.
This year, Youth Day will include a “Kiddy Corner” entertainment area with inflatable amusements and games, a fashion show, and an artisan and food market on Yonge Street.
