Toronto has another warm weekend ahead bustling with festivals, but with that comes multiple road closures.

The Beaches Jazz Festival is claiming Queen Street East for the final weekend of the month long mid-summer event.

The festival that brings attention to the Canadian jazz community will shut down Woodbine Avenue and Beech Avenue, starting at 6 p.m. to midnight from July 25 to July 27th.

On the west side of the city, pedestrians can take over Ossington Avenue to enjoy yoga, shopping, patios, music and entertainment.
