In 2023, we returned to the Wexford Heights BIA for WEXFORD BLOOMS!

Wexford Blooms 2023 featured four sites along Lawrence Avenue East, celebrating the natural beauty and cultural diversity of Wexford Heights, Maryvale, and surrounding communities!

Wexford Blooms was popped up from August 8 to October 15, 2023. The sites were designed and programmed in partnership with Wexford Heights Business Improvement Area and the Working Women Community Centre.
Shout out to the owners of Ghadir Meats, Better than Yia Yia’s, Colony Plaza, and Wexford Heights Plaza for hosting our sites!

Events at this POP

‘Movie Night’!

On August 8th, our ‘Main’ Wexford Blooms site at the Wexford Heights plaza (2072 Lawrence Avenue East), hosted about 80 people for a ‘pop up’ screening of “The Wexford” (2017) — a short doc about the 3 generations of the Kiriakou family that ran the eponymous, iconic restaurant until it closed in 2020 — and “Scarborough” (2021) — which explores the struggles, endurance, and resilience of this culturally diverse Toronto community.
