The fun began on London Street in the heart of Ontario County, where additional weekly programs were offered at Dundas Place to support dining and shopping.

Ryan Craven, Director of Core Area Programs with the city, explained the difficulties faced by businesses on Dundas Place in terms of construction duration as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Throughout July, Dundas Place’s sidewalks were programmed each week with visual artists and musicians.

And as more people visit the area, the city is adding more programs.

Upcoming events include Free Comic Book Day on August 14, where hundreds of free comic books will be distributed to visitors. A street sale is also scheduled for August 21.

There are also weekly events; for example, diverse night food trucks are organized on Wednesdays between Ridout and Talbot Streets.

Patios can also extend into the street, and musicians and artists will perform from Thursdays through Sundays.

Sections of Dundas Street, from Ridout to Wellington Streets, will sometimes close to car traffic but will remain open to pedestrians and cyclists.

Vehicle traffic will not be able to travel east or west along Dundas Street during these times:

- Dundas Street closed between Ridout Street and Talbot Street

Wednesdays: from 3 PM to 11 PM

- Dundas Street closed between Ridout Street and Wellington Street

Thursday and Friday evenings: 6 PM to 11 PM

Saturday evening: 4 PM to 11 PM

Sundays: 10 AM - 4 PM

Road closures will take place weekly through August and September.

Visitors can use the promo code "CORE" on the Honk app to get free two-hour downtown parking.

The city reminds visitors to continue following COVID-19 safety measures and maintain physical distancing.
