Toronto’s Distillery District is dedicated to promoting arts, culture, and entertainment. The area is defined as Mill Street from Parliament to Cherry Street. No cars are allowed as this is a pedestrian only walkway. However, there is plenty of on street metered parking and parking lots in the area. The only drawback in terms of location is that the Distillery District is not right on a subway line. If you are coming by public transit you will have to take a street car and walk a few blocks. You’ll certainly find it well worth it. The Gooderham & Worts Distillery is one of 40 buildings in the Victorian Industrial Architecture style that have all been lovingly preserved. The shops, galleries, and restaurants are all originals. You won’t find any neon signs or chain stores here. Take advantage of the site tours at the Distillery Visitor Centre and learn more about the area. The beautiful architecture makes it a natural for film shoots and you may notice scenery from Chicago and the X-Men. The 3^rd annual Distillery Blues Festival will be taking place from June 15^th – June 17^th. To learn more about this great event follow the link below.
