Branch Out - Uptown Spring Festival
September 27, 2022
Uptown was alive over the weekend, for Branch Out Festival
On Saturday over the weekend, the Normanby Road & Enfield Street area of Uptown was buzzing, alive with new flavours, activities and experiences!
Dogs were posing for portraits, delicious food tastings were everywhere, live art was happening, hotdogs were flying off the stand, and games were being played all day. The atmosphere was vibrant, positive and fun.
An incredible 234 people completed the word search, where they visited all 10 participating businesses to find the hidden letter.
Thanks to everyone who came to Branch Out and explored this unique part of our neighbourhood. Big thank you to our partners in this event, the Link Alliance and City Rail Link.
Check out some of the highlights from the event below.
