Kensington Market Festival of Lights 2006
Every year, Toronto celebrates Winter Solstice, the longest, darkest night holding the Kensington Market Festival of Lights. “A cavalcade of costumed characters, giant puppets, stiltwalkers, and firebreathers in a luminescent lantern-lit carnival parade” filled the narrow streets.
The storefronts and rooftops had theatrics for all to watch, including a group of kids, members of the Green Army of the Environment geared up to battle against the Smog Army of Pollution.
The night ended at Bellevue Square Park, with firebreathers around a 12 foot bonfire lit aflame, dancing to the beats of a drum squad and the horns of a 20 piece jazz band.
