Why Go
Located riverside on the edge of the downtown core, you will find the familiar and the exceptional in this singular neighbourhood — everything from architectural icons to celebrity-chef prepared cuisine. Enjoy access to outdoor spaces such as St. Patrick’s Island, a 31-acre park in the heart of the city, and the RiverWalk which connects you to 700 kilometres of city pathways.
What's Great
Take a stroll through East Village and find inspiration around every corner. Public art is central to the community’s character with murals, sculptures and digital art by international and local artists giving life to the streets and public spaces. Discover the history of Canadian music at Studio Bell, get lost in a book – and marvel at the architecture - at the Central Library, learn more about the history of the land at The Confluence Historical Site & Parkland, and find beauty in the buildings – old and new – that are integral to the character of this place.
Local Tip:
