SonyaIt was beautiful late summer day in the city as we rolled down to take in the pedestrian friendly Festival Street at the Toronto International Film Festival. Truly one of our favourite and free things to do during the festival. Everyone is out enjoying the buzz on the street with their iced coffees. Turn your eyes towards any of the hotels in the area and you’re bound to spot a shiny Escalade waiting to whisk away a celebrity from some sort of party or press event.
Friday night (Day 2) we really felt the excitement with stars seen across the downtown core. Who was where? Here are just a few spottings…
