Looking forward to my favourite day of the year, just a month away. Even before I moved to TO, I loved day trips to @kensingtonmkt.bsky.social with my sister who moved here first. Then I was there when my first Solstice Parade came down the street… and I loved it through all the changes since.
Some kids grow up going to the Santa Claus Parade. For my kids: Solstice 🔥
It’s cold, I’m tired, happy & squeezed on packed transit on the way home from a fantastic night. I’m sure I’ll crash once I get home, but I’ll grab a snippet of the Kensington Market #WinterSolstice celebration to share now.
