Summer time in Toronto is always alive and full of incredible concerts and festivals. One of our favourite yearly festivals is the Interstellar Punk Bazaar. We first attended the Interstellar Punk Bazaar 2 years ago, located on Dufferin near Geary Ave. The Punk Bazaar stands out on its own by having some of Toronto's most unique vendors and punk music. We have known Jesse for a few years now, and when he approached us to participate and sponsor this event, we could not turn down the opportunity.

After months of planning and scheduling, the day was finally here and it was time for Interstellar Punk Bazaar 2026. With 20+ vendors scheduled, 5 bands, and sunny weather, we were due for an incredible Saturday afternoon. The festival was laid out in 2 sections: one section was the vendors, and the other was the stage and merch area. Each band performed a 30 minute set and they were wild. We had everything from drum machines, trumpets, inflatable tube men, and so much more. Each band had a unique sound, and the lineup was carefully curated to present some of our favourite Toronto artists who all sound different but share the same scene.

The vendors were a mix of previous years' and new vendors. Some of the highlights include York Taylor with vintage DVDs and retro games, Blood Brothers Brewery, and Dust Bunny Jewellery. There were so many incredible vendors that participate in different markets around the area that we strongly recommend you check them out. Every item for sale was made by a local artist or vendor; they are the backbone of our community, and it is crucial we support them as much as we can. We purchased a ton of items! Including a Twilight Zone DVD, soaps, necklaces, and a ton of ice cream and beer.

Massive thanks to all of the vendors, volunteers, bands, sponsors, and most importantly the community who came out and supported this incredible market.
