Parking at the festival is VERY LIMITED.  It is strongly advised that Festival visitors use public transportation to get to the Festival by either subway or bus.  Since the festival is bordered between Jane St. and Runnymede Rd, getting off and either Jane or Runnymede subway stations, is the most ideal and convenient way of getting to the Toronto Ukrainian Festival.

There are several paid parking lots located steps from the Festival site.  They are just north of Bloor Street West and can be accessed from Armadale Avenue, Beresford Avenue, Kennedy Avenue and Glendonwynne Road.

You can find maps and other information at the Green P Parking website:

There are public parking lots (low monetary fee) near the Festival, just outside of Kipling, Islington, Royal York and Keele subway stations.  For more information please visit www.ttc.ca and under the heading “TTC Information”, click on parking.

PARKING ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS

There are a very limited number of parking spaces on residential streets.  Most of these spaces are occupied by neighboring residents who have a permit to park on the street. Also, there is parking on only one side of the street, NOT on both sides.  There are numerous street signs posted showing people where they can and cannot park.

We hope that visitors to the festival will obey the following parking etiquette, otherwise you risk of having your vehicle TICKETED, TOWED and IMPOUNDED at YOUR OWN EXPENSE.  There will be a zero tolerance and no excuses for violating the following:

• DO NOT park on both sides of the streets, unless otherwise posted.  Please obey the posted street signs

• DO NOT block the barricade or park your vehicle directly in front of the barricade on either side.  We need the space for EMERGENCY VEHICLES to have access to Bloor St. should any emergency arise.

• DO NOT block or park in front of people’s driveways or laneways.

• DO NOT block or park in front of fire hydrants

• DO NOT block or park in front of a handicap designated stop if you DO NOT have a valid disability permit displayed on your windshield

• Absolutely NO vendors are allowed to park at or near any of the metal barricade that lead on to Bloor St.  You will be given a designated time as to when you can unload your merchandise and when you can pick up your merchandise from the street.  NO ONE will be allowed to break through the barricades.  Also it is STRONGLY ENCOURAGED that all vendors purchase a parking permit for use at  the Armadale Parking lot, otherwise, you will be parking your vehicle at YOUR OWN RISK if you violate any of the City of Toronto By-Laws.

We hope that everyone has an enjoying experience at this years Toronto Ukrainian Festival.  However, please be courteous to your fellow neighbors.
