Tips & Advice

  • Take public transit instead of driving, as on-site parking is extremely limited and waterfront traffic is very heavy.
  • Be mindful of street closures in effect along Queens Quay West, Bay Street, and York Street.
  • Consider walking to nearby subway stations like St. Andrew, King, Queen, or Osgoode to bypass post-fireworks crowds at Union Station.
