Strawberries and Asparagus Festival

Organizer Chris Chopik is calling for partners, volunteers, entertainers and of course attendees for Toronto's 4th annual Strawberries and Asparagus Festival. It takes place from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, June 12 at the Children's Garden in Cedarvale Park, not far northwest of St. Clair and Bathurst (and close to the Green Barns!)

The event began as a neighbourhood barbeque to commemorate the community's defeat of the proposed Spadina Expressway, which saved 40 acres of green space for Toronto. It will include free food, music, solar cooking, green gardening, children's activities, a Yoga and Zen Zone, and the Inorganic Market, which collects e-waste and teaches about e-waste diversion.
