Hello Cabbagetown!
Welcome to our Summer in the City: Cabbagetown Edition of the Blog
Every couple of days we will be posting pictures and info of how our local businesses celebrate summer - along with events, shows and much more.
Today (June 21st) is the Summer Solstice which means that we are now in what some may call the best season of the year.
Cabbagetown is a great place to spend your Summer as there is no shortage of fun things going on all the time.
Many of our restaurants have patios for you to enjoy great food while in the sun (or shade), while other shops have the perfect accessories for you to spruce up your own patio for the season.
With so much Summer goodness to take in, we know it can be difficult to visit all our shops at once so we're starting with shops on Carlton St. from Parliament to Berkeley St.
We want to be your guide to make this Summer in Cabbagetown one in which you can discover your neighbourhood with family and friends.
