Toronto's Music Garden and Harbour Front - A Beautiful Place to Visit with No Charge

Toronto's  Harbour Front


After we visited the Distillery District, we continued our walk south towards the lake.
















We reached the Harbour Front after about thirty minutes as it was such a nice day and an enjoyable pleasant stroll.

It would have been a different story if it was in the middle of winter.



Boardwalk at Harbour Front

















Harbour Front is a great place for people to sit and relax on the broad walk and watch the world go by.

Of all the places there are in Toronto, the Toronto Harbour Front is my most favourte place to visit.

There are always things to do for al ages such as canoeing in the pond.









During the warmer months, very often there are entertainments of all kinds especially during the weekends or special holidays.





Art Exhibition inside the Harbourfront building

We were there on the long weekend a week ago; there were free concerts in the outdoor stage, free crafts activity as well as shows for kids on the open stage






Very often, there are arts exhibitions inside the Harbourfront buildings.









Observing wildlife by the water
People can take their time and walk through these displays and most of the time, there are no admission charges.







Or they can just take time to observe the wildlife by the water.












There is even a man made beach where one can just enjoy and sunbath to their hearts' content.

While we are down at the HarboruFront, we always make a point to walk through the Music Garden which is located a little west of the Harbourfront Centre.

Performing Stage at the Toronto Music Garden


There are scheduled  free musical performances at stage of the Music Garden throughout the summer for visitors.


At times, there could also be impromptu performance like the one we saw when we were there.

This group was singing native songs accompanied by native drumming.













 We rounded up our day and enjoyed a Thai dinner at the local restaurant. It was a little pricy but the food was not too bad.

A nice introduction for Jenny
 ( who is visiting from overseas) to our lovely summer in Toronto.
