The 20th annual Bloor West Village Toronto Ukrainian Festival will be taking place from September 16-18, 2016 and as usual, we would like to incorporate the local businesses as much as possible.
SIDEWALK SALE: We have arranged for a blanket sidewalk sale permit for the weekend. This is an excellent opportunity for you to set up a display on the sidewalk outside of your building to sell your products and promote your business to locals and Festival visitors. Not all visitors will make purchases during the Festival weekend, but some will certainly return to BWV from other parts of the city in future after being introduced to your products at the Festival.
BIA ANNOUNCEMENTS: Last year we were happy to make announcements from our Jane and Runnymede Stages on behalf of BWV BIA businesses throughout the Festival weekend. If you are planning any type of in-store special on the Festival weekend, or if you will provide gift certificates or prizes, we’ll announce them multiple times on our two performance stages. Last year we promoted eight businesses throughout the weekend. Please email Sonia at sholiad@rogers.com with your offer and a couple of sentences about your business, or with questions. Deadline: September 15.
PARADE: Thousands of people come to view our Saturday morning parade every year, making it a great way to showcase your business. If you are interested in taking part in our parade by creating a float or other colourful presentation, please send an email to parade@ukrainianfestival.com to receive a registration form. Registration is free.
If you have questions about the Festival please visit our website www.ukrainianfestival.com or contact us at info@ukrainianfestival.com. Note that this year’s Festival will take place between Jane St. and Runnymede Rd.
