Step into Queen Broadview Village and it's not hard to
imagine what Riverdale was like a century ago.
Running along Queen Street East, between Don River and
Empire Avenue, Queen Broadway Village is the oldest part
of Riverdale.
Though the merchandise has changed, many of attractive
storefronts have remained the same through the years, with
their oversized display windows and ornate detailing.
Stunningly restored turn-of-the-century buildings now
house antique and collectible stores, cafes and
restaurants, with treats from around the world, high-tech
components for home entertainment and business needs and
growing wave of art galleries.
Queen Broadway Village is also home to compelling outdoor
art installation starting at Queen Street Bridge (over Don
River).
"Tine and Clock" theme located there is echoed
with "Reflections of Time" sidewalks inlays at
Queen and Broadview and completed with steel banners
further along Queen at Empire Avenue.
Summertime Festival brings out all ages to enjoy concerts,
book and bake sales, displays, street dancing and sidewalk
sales.
