Harbourfront is a neighbourhood on the northern shore of Lake Ontario within the downtown core of the city of Toronto, Canada. Harbourfront extends west from Yonge Street to Bathurst Street along Queen's Quay. East of Yonge to Parliament St. along Queen's Quay, this mostly industrialized stretch is slated for the future East Bayfront development.

A vibrant home for the culture of our time, Harbourfront Centre showcases the work of contemporary Canadian artists in all creative disciplines simultaneously with leading-edge artists from around the world. Harbourfront Centre works in collaboration with some 450 community-based organizations to offer an impressive array of innovative multidisciplinary programming exploring diverse cultures through the arts.
