Dziękuję bardzo (thank you very much) from the Roncesvalles Polish Festival
This year’s Roncesvalles Polish Festival was record-breaking success in every way! A longer route, more stages, more music, and the largest crowds we’ve ever seen on Roncesvalles Avenue made this past weekend a great time on Roncy!
We were pleased this year to have St. Joseph’s Health Centre and Copernicus Lodge as charity partners for the Polish Festival.
Thank you to everyone who made this great event possible: our Festival patron, the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Toronto, festival sponsors, staff, volunteers, musicians, dancers and other entertainers, community partners, and of course, members of the Roncesvalles Village BIA, whose strong participation in the festival made all the difference!

Roncesvalles Jane’s Walk — Sunday, May 3 at 11 am
Join Roncesvalles residents Mary Weins, Philip Stern, Tonya Surman and the BIA’s own John Bowker on a Jane Jacobs-inspired walk through the Roncesvalles neighbourhood … from the trim eastern borders of High Park to the overwrought rococo of Macdonell Avenue’s grandest homes. Be transported by the fare in our old-world delicatessens and visit the cafés that have made Toronto a world-leader in the Fair Trade coffee movement. Share the sights and stories of Roncesvalles!
Inspired by urban activist Jane Jacobs and her grassroots approach to city-building, these walks put people in touch with their environment and with each other, bridging social and geographic gaps and creating a space for cities to discover themselves. Toronto will host over 90 walking tours this year, and many more are taking place across North America. For more information on Jane’s Walk, please click here.
Meeting Place: The Katyn Monument- south along King St, just below Queen St. and Roncesvalles Av.
Tour guide(s): Tonya Surman, Mary Weins, Philip Stern and John Bowker
End Location: Queen St. W.
Public Transit Directions: 504 King St. or 501 Queen St. streetcars to the corner of Queen and Roncesvalles. Grafton is one street north of Queen.
Polish Film Festival Coming to a Theatre Near You
We are excited by the possibility of a Polish Film Festival as a part of this year’s Roncesvalles Polish Festival.
Early meetings between the Revue Cinema, the RVBIA and local filmmaker Marta Ogonek have been extremely promising, and we can look forward to a showcase of great Polish film at the Revue in September.
Santa at the Revue
Santa returned to the Revue Cinema this past weekend, and kids of all ages got the chance to see their photos with Santa on the big screen courtesy of the Revue’s terrific digital projector!
The RVBIA thanks the Revue, volunteers from the Revue Film Society, Tenzin Dorjee, digital photographer extraordinaire from Impact Photography, all the kids and parents, and of course, Santa!
Happy Holidays!
Santa Claus and Święty Mikołaj Arrive!
Santa and Święty Mikołaj arrived on Roncesvalles Avenue a bit after noon Saturday December 6th. They travelled in style on a fire truck from Station 345, and spent time handing out candy to the assembled kids before moving into the library for a kids with Santa photo shoot. Musical entertainment was provided by Andy Kruk and “Let The Good Times Roll.”
Remember to pick up your photos from Elektra Photos, 285 Roncesvalles Ave. after Monday December 15th.
Shoppers on Roncesvalles were treated to holiday carols courtesy of our Victorian carolling duet and carollers from High Park Baptist Church.
Remember that Santa will have another photo session at the Revue Cinema on Saturday December 13th between 11:00 and 1:00 p.m. See yourself on the big screen with Santa!
Santa will visit one more time, on Saturday December 20th, going up and down Roncesvalles to spread holiday cheer to our village.
