Food, music and a Euro 2024 game victory bring the party to College Street’s Taste of Little Italy festival

Aromas of grilled meat and fresh cannolis wafted over a crowd decked out in red, green and white as they celebrated the Taste of Little Italy in Toronto on Saturday.

The second day of the annual festival drew thousands to College Street, under sunny skies and 22 C temperatures, where people danced in the street to music and Euro 2024 fans donned in blue jerseys celebrated watching Italy claim victory over Albania.
