Big Stories in Little India

July 18 @ 3:00 pm – 4:30 pm

Discover how a former industrial brickyard is now a hub for Toronto’s South Asian community. 

Learn how one of Toronto’s first Bollywood movie theatres transformed this East End neighbourhood into an international destination for South Asian culture during the 1970s and 1980s. 

On this walk, we’ll explore this unparalled bazaar, a business-based enclave formed by multiple entrepreneurial immigrants, stopping at locations like the Lahore Tikka House, known for barbecued green chilies, and Chandan Fashion, the star of the reality show Bollywed.
