The Cabbagetown Art & Crafts Sale is held in downtown Toronto on the same weekend as the Cabbagetown Festival—the weekend after Labour Day.
The correct name for the area is Don Vale, but the name Cabbagetown, popularized by the Hugh Garner novel, refers to the habit of its poor residents to grow cabbages on their front lawns in the 1920s.
Over the past 40 years, Cabbagetown has been renovated and rebuilt into one of the finest heritage neighborhoods in Canada, home to many famous people in the arts.
Cabbagetown Fall Festival,
sponsored by the Old Cabbagetown Business Improvement Association (OCBIA), has been going for the past thirty years.
Its festival starts on Thursday night and continues through Sunday on Parliament Street which is closed to traffic. There is a parade, all-day entertainment, sidewalk cafes, and garage sales.
Our sale in Riverdale Park West is in the centre of the Cabbagetown community, right beside
Riverdale Farm, an urban farm featuring heritage buildings and rare breed farm animals.
The Farm Fall Festival includes craft demonstrations, corn roasts, fiddle playing and children’s activities.
We help sponsor a free square dance between 5.00 - 8.00 p.m. on Saturday night.
As you can tell, we are in the midde of a lot of action that attracts over 30,000 visitors to the area.
The Cabbagetown Art & Crafts is one of the best outdoor art and crafts sales in one of the loveliest parks in Toronto.
The quality of goods is a hallmark of our event. Local craftspeople and artists jury the entries, and although there are many applicants, we limit it to 180 artists. Funds raised from the sale go toward local charities.
Come join us for the weekend, and meet our friendly downtown Toronto residents. We build a better city.

"This will be our eleventh season with you at the Cabbagetown Art & Crafts Sale. It has always been the best and most successful show of the season. It has become almost a family get together. This is a delightful show in many ways: the organizers are superb, the site is pleasing; and most of all, the people are gracious, friendly, and accommodating. We feel part of their lives as we meet each other year after year and share our lives with them. This is one show that we look forward to each year.
We are looking forward to seeing you again in September."
