Ransack the Universe Blog!

The New Bloor Festival is coming to Bloor Street, between Dufferin and Lansdowne on Saturday, July 24, from 1 to 9 pm. It will be a fun, car-free space for the neighbourhood to come together and celebrate its wide range of businesses, community groups and cultural producers. There will be all kinds of fun for everyone, lots of activities for children, families, all ages.

Not only can you walk Bloor without having to dodge cars but the whole 69 Vintage Collective will be out strutting their stuff. Can you say deals, deals, deals? You can find Ransack’s tent somewhere between Emerson and Margueretta. We’ll have our best crafts, tees, funky vintage kitsch on display plus a special section of “lower priced items”.

Hope to see you there!
