The Junction Summer Solstice Festival is fast becoming one of the Junction’s premier events and a favorite with Torontonians. The day is a celebration summer as well showcasing what the area has to offer. One of our favorite things about the festival is that it is environmentally-friendly powered by solar! What better way to celebrate the year’s longest day than to use it to fuel your fun?
