Jam Packed Week on the Danforth

We have a very jam packed week about to take place within our Danforth BIA.  Here are the details of what's happening:

The Danforth Music Hall:

Comedian Dave Chappelle will be performing for 5 nights as follows:

Tuesday, Feb. 9: 7pm and 10pm
Wednesday, Feb. 10: 10pm
Thursday, Feb. 11: 7pm
Friday, Feb. 12: 7pm and 10pm
Saturday, Feb. 13: 7pm and 10pm

  • Each show will have 1,000 people
  • Guests will have to show ID to gain access as part of the ticketing system for these shows
  • Line ups to get into the Music Hall will be as follows: 700 people lined up running west from the Music Hall; 300 people lined up running east from the Music Hall
  • The Music Hall has hired 12 security guards to ensure that the line ups don't block business entrances for each of the shows and to ensure that the end of night crowds leave in an orderly fashion.
  • Dave Chappelle's shows are 19+ so the audience members will be an older crowd.

Winterfolk:

The Annual Winterfolk Festival also happens in our Danforth BIA starting on Friday, Feb. 12 and running through Sunday, Feb. 14.

  • Winterfolk performances will be held at: The Black Swan, Mambo Lounge, Dora Keogh's and Terri O's

Terri O's

  • Winterfolk performances will start at 7pm on Friday; performances will take place starting in the afternoon and running through the evening on Saturday and Sunday.

Valentine's Day:

Then there is Valentine's Day this coming Sunday, February 14.

  • For restaurants hosting special Valentine's Day brunches and dinners please let your guests know that the area is going to be busy.  Parking will be at a premium so TTC and cabs might be good options.

Thank you all for taking the time to read this message.  Our Danforth BIA is certainly going to be a popular place for the next 6 days.
