Extending from Spadina to Bathurst, this annual downtown extravaganza attracts close to 20,000 visitors each year.
The name “the Annex” can be traced back to the early 1880s when merchant and land speculator Simeon Janes used “Toronto Annexed” for his elite residential developments. The lands had been annexed by the City in order to provide necessary services, such as water, sewers and paved roads. The City of Toronto continued to annex additional properties west to Bathurst Street and the Bloor Annex was formed.
