The Withrow Park Farmers' Market
The Withrow Park Farmers' Market began in 2007. Running on Saturdays from May to October, the market focuses on organic food and sustainability in production.
• Visit WithrowPark.ca for more details on the Farmers' Market and related events.

Dusk Dances
Dusk Dances is an outdoor summer dance festival that performs in Withrow Park, usually in August. Tickets are pay-what-you-can, and the crowds often get very large.

Wondering what happened to Shakespeare in the Rough?
For over a decade Shakespeare in the Rough brought the bard's plays to Withrow Park with no stage and no set. Unfortunately the company's last performance was in 2006.
• For more about the closing of SITR and other outdoor Shakespeare companies, see the 2007 Toronto Star column "Wherefore art thou, Shakespeare?" by Richard Ouzounian
