Roncesvalles Village

Roncesvalles is known for its European ambiance and small-town feel. This neighborhood is popular with young families who appreciate the convenience of the location just west of downtown. The close proximity to High Park, Toronto waterfront bicycle and walking trails, easy access to public transit, and the Roncesvalles shops and restaurants are also popular drawing cards.

 

The Roncesvalles Polish Festival, which takes place annually in September, attracts thousands of visitors. Roncesvalles Avenue is closed off for

 this festival that includes Polish dancers, children’s games and rides, polka bands, and lots of food and refreshments.

Roncesvalles Avenue is said to be a favorite among streetcar enthusiasts, who relish the fact that the stops are distanced far enough apart for the streetcar to build up some speed, and who appreciate the picturesque and lively atmosphere along the route.
