Toronto’s Uptown Yonge neighbourhood just got a major glow-up and there’s something in it for you too. If you’re looking for something fun, unique, and totally free to do this summer, head over to Uptown Yonge and take part in a community-wide mural contest that runs all season long.

Commissioned by the Uptown Yonge BIA, these sidewalk murals bring fresh colour, creativity, and local flair to the neighbourhood. Whether you're a resident or a visitor, it’s the perfect excuse to go for a walk, discover something new, and snap a few photos along the way.

And here’s where it gets exciting: there’s a contest happening throughout the summer. All you have to do is take a photo of one of the new murals, post it to your Instagram Story, and tag @uptownyongebia. That’s it. You’ll be automatically entered for a chance to win some exciting prizes.

Whether you’re grabbing an iced coffee from the local coffee shop, browsing the boutiques along Yonge Street, or simply enjoying the sunny weather, make sure to stop by, snap a shot, and enter the contest. It’s a great way to explore the neighbourhood while supporting local creativity.

Special thanks to the team at the Uptown Yonge BIA for always taking such thoughtful care of the community and continuing to create beautiful, engaging spaces for everyone to enjoy.

Don't miss your chance to join in, check out the murals this summer and take your shot at winning.
