The York-Eglinton BIA is situated in the heart of the city along Eglinton Avenue West between Marlee Avenue and Dufferin Street, and along the north side of Dufferin to Whitmore Avenue. Often referred to as the commercial backbone of the city, the York-Eglinton BIA is easily accessible by transit and Highway 401 from the W. R. Allen Expressway. The over 200 member businesses in the area offer shoppers and visitors a vibrant Caribbean and Italian-flavoured International Market with shops, restaurants and services that cater to the city’s diverse heritage. It is your one-stop market for all your shopping needs. Our Annual York-Eglinton International Street Festival brings over 5,000 visitors to our BIA and features entertainment for the whole family, activities for the kids, sidewalk sales, vendors, buskers, magicians and much more.
