This historical neighbourhood has seen waves of immigration: Jewish people in the early 20th century, then people from Eastern Europe post-war, Caribbeans and Islanders in the 1960s and Chinese people most recently. On the last Sunday of every month from May-October the streets are blocked off so pedestrians can walk around and have a festival. Enjoy the variety of restaurants, cafes, vintage clothing stores, ethnic grocery stores, and the new ubiquitous cannabis shops.

This neighbourhood has historically been an enclave for artists and people on the margins. Today, Parkdale is a vibrant mix of mom-and-pop stores mixed in with more gentrified jewelry, clothing, and art stores which have been priced out of the more expensive Queen West neighbourhood.
