Festival Street returns to the TIFF for its third year. From September 8 to 11, King Street West between Peter and University Streets will be closed and transformed into a pedestrian paradise, free for all to enjoy. We don’t know too many details as to what exactly this “paradise” will consist of but we do know that there will be a FREE PHARRELL WILLIAMS CONCERT.
On Saturday, September 10, 20th Century Fox will present exclusive footage of the film Hidden Figures, a Q&A with Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monáe, Pharrell Williams, and the filmmakers, followed by a concert with Pharrell and his friends on Festival Street for select TIFF Members.
“Toronto audiences will be the first to hear Pharrell's new music for Hidden Figures, and they'll see it performed live on Festival Street,” said Cameron Bailey, TIFF's Artistic Director. “This film brings together an incredible array of talent. We're beyond happy to be giving audiences a taste of it.”
Even though the announcement says that it’s for select TIFF member, it’s an outdoor festival so we’re sure that if you’re in the crowd you’ll get to hear the new music and take some great pictures of the show.
