The ROSEDALE MAINSTREET BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA is accepting applications for its annual:
ROSEDALE ART FAIR
SATURDAY JUNE 13, 2026 and SUNDAY JUNE 14, 2026
The ROSEDALE MAINSTREET BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT AREA represents over 180 businesses along Yonge Street from Woodlawn Avenue to Crescent Road. The purpose of the ROSEDALE ART FAIR is to draw people into our neighborhood to shop, dine, experience our events and enjoy all we have to offer!
The ROSEDALE ART FAIR is a wonderful opportunity for almost 100 artists to show and sell their work in one of Toronto’s most upscale and prestigious neighborhoods alongside fellow established and emerging Canadian artists. RAF has become a destination for art connoisseurs and art lovers, gallerists and designers alike, as well as novice buyers who are seeking to find the perfect piece for their home. Many artists call RAF their favorite outdoor show with several claiming record sales. Ideally located in Ramsden Park, just off bustling Yonge Street, the fair enjoys exceptional visibility and foot traffic, making it a must-visit for art lovers across the city. Due to increase popularity from 2025 RAF will also include Budd Sugarman Park as a second RAF location in 2026!
The ROSEDALE ART FAIR is an outdoor fair consisting of individual 10’ x 10’ tents provided by us. Registration fees cover the cost of the tent rental and RAF will provide all the setup of the tents. Artists may use their own freestanding 10’ grids in which to hang their artwork. RAF will recommend a grid rental company if needed, and that information will be provided to artists with their acceptance email.
*Artwork may be left overnight as we do have security patrolling the grounds, however, RAF recommends Artists take home their artwork due to unpredictable weather conditions. RAF is not responsible for loss or damage to artwork.
