Live Music in Chinatown & Kensington Market

Wander through a vibrant mix of history, vinyl, and boundary-pushing sound.

The corner of Dundas and Spadina anchors this dynamic community, where sidewalks bustle with fruit stalls, street vendors, and neighbours catching up.

Music landmarks like Grossman’s and the El Mocambo have hosted global icons, while record stores like Play de Record and Sonic Boom helped shape Toronto’s vinyl scene. Just west, Kensington Market offers a bohemian blend of art, cuisine, and creativity unlike anywhere else in the city.
