The Little Italy Cavalcade of Lights on College Street is an annual neighbourhood holiday kickoff event featuring a festive tree lighting, visits with Santa, and local community performances.

The Good Friday Procession is a deeply reverent, sombre religious custom rather than a typical celebratory parade. Organized by St. Francis of Assisi Parish in Little Italy since 1962, it draws thousands of people to the streets to commemorate the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ.

Taste of Little Italy is a massive, vibrant street festival that transforms College Street into a lively pedestrian-only open-air market for one weekend every summer. Running along College Street between Bathurst Street and Shaw Street, it is one of Toronto's most popular neighborhood street festivals, celebrating the area’s rich Italian heritage alongside its modern, diverse culinary scene.
