Arts in the Park (Main)
Welcome to Arts in the Park
posted February 26, 2008
Dufferin Grove Park is host to many events. During the winter, the focus in the park is more on skating, but we keep the notices and news of arts events here.
Below you'll find retrospectives of 2010 and before. We have a lot more material in archives and related sections. Over time, we'll try to make additional material available.
