Sweet City Fest at STACKT Market: Toronto's Free Dessert Festival

Sweet City Fest is taking over STACKT Market from February 13 to 16, 2026, offering a free festival celebrating all things sweet. From artisanal desserts to interactive fun stations, this family-friendly event is one of February's most delicious Toronto events.

What to Expect

The festival features a marketplace of sweet treats from local bakeries, chocolatiers, and dessert makers. Interactive stations let visitors create their own sweet creations, while sampling opportunities ensure you can taste before you commit to a full purchase.

Why It's Worth Visiting

Free admission makes Sweet City Fest an accessible event for everyone. Held at STACKT Market on Bathurst Street, the venue's container-built spaces provide an interesting backdrop for the festival. The combination of free entry and purchasable treats lets visitors control their spending while still enjoying the full experience.

Tips for Attending

Arrive early on opening day (February 13) for the freshest displays and shortest lines. Weekday visits tend to be less crowded than the weekend. Bring cash as some smaller vendors may not accept cards. The festival runs alongside Valentine's Day weekend, making it a natural addition to date plans.
