The Garden District is essentially the epicentre of the city - with concerts and all kinds of city events being hosted in the glitzy Yonge & Dundas Square, and overflowing into the rest of the city. Festivals, parades, as well as cultural events make this neighbourhood a vibrant urban centre.

This section of Yonge Street has a storied history, often associated with the iconic "Sam The Record Man" neon sign that used to hang above the famous record store, and now has a permanent home at Yonge & Dundas Square. Many shops once considered Toronto landmarks have disappeared in the past few decades, but they are not forgotten. Especially with the new projects in the area focused on holding onto that central Toronto identity by mixing high-rise living with office and retail space on lower levels. As Ryerson University continues to expand, students have moved into the area, while bringing with them energy and excitement. Unique attractions like Karaoke bars, and escape rooms, board game cafes and boutique bars have cropped up, while creating new traditions and landmarks.
