As summer slowly winds down, Torontonians are making the most of their weekends. But remember, with street festivals come road closures in the city.

There is also a partial subway closure this weekend.

Road closures

Big on Bloor
Bloor Street, from Dufferin Street to Lansdowne Avenue, will be closed from Saturday at 9 a.m. to Sunday at 9 p.m.

Taste of Manila
Bathurst Street will be closed from Wilson Avenue to Laurelcrest Avenue from Saturday at 12:01 a.m. to Sunday at 11 p.m.

Chinatown Festival
The southbound lanes of Spadina Avenue will be closed from St. Andrew to Sullivan streets from 12:01 a.m. on Saturday to 11 p.m. on Sunday.

Also, keep in mind if you are heading to The Ex this weekend: the Gardiner Expressway will be reduced to two lanes in each direction from Strachan Avenue to Bathurst Street to replace the deck on the elevated portion of the Gardiner.

TTC closure

Subways won’t be running on Line 2 (Bloor-Danforth) between Kipling and Jane stations on Saturday and Sunday due to track replacement and maintenance work.

Replacement buses will be running.
