Not only does this street designate Toronto's east-west split, it is also the city's longest thoroughfare. In fact, Yonge is known as the world's longest street, stretching from Lake Ontario to the town of Rainy River, more than 1900 kilometers away. Originally used as a trail by the Hurons, the road became an official passage in the 1790s. Today it is a burgeoning commercial district and a beehive of activity, especially in the section between Front and Lawrence. One of Toronto's three subway lines operates along this route.NYC Best Hotel Deals: 50% Savings In New York! Experience New York At It's Finest!JustClickLocal.comAlaska – it’s HOT!

Celebrate Toronto Street Festival
Jul 1st, 2010 to Jul 31st, 2010
In 1998, when city Mayor Mel Lastman amalgamated several cities into what is now called the Greater Toronto Area, he created the Celebrate Toronto Street Festival to bring everyone in the area together in a spirit of festive civic pride. Jugglers and street performers entertain on street corners and restaurants and shops offer all types of enticements. The free event kicks off with a showcase concert at the Eglington and Yonge site and continues at sites along Yonge Street: at Dundas to the south and north to Bloor, St Clair, Eglinton and Lawrence.
