"Toronto’s Gay Village, known locally as “The Village” is the historic home of the city’s LGBTQ+ community. Every summer, the area hosts Toronto Pride, but the neighborhood is vibrant with activity throughout the year. Drop by The Village for cafes, restaurants, LGBTQ+ oriented shops, entertainment, and nightlife. Some staples include the Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, which has a year-round program that includes a full season of queer theater, festivals, artist residencies, and intergenerational training and education initiatives. Crews & Tangos nightclub is a safe and inclusive spot for drag shows, and Pegasus Comedy offers queer-friendly comedy nights. For craft beer and pub fare, the Hair of the Dog Pub has you covered, or visit Smith for French fare." - MATADOR_NETWORK
