Event summary

Highlights

  • Scheduled as a two-day festival on July 11–12
  • Approximately 13,000 attendees were present
  • Saturday programming was disrupted by a shooting
  • The July 12 program was cancelled
Salsa on St. Clair was a two-day Toronto festival scheduled for July 11 and 12, 2026. The supplied report states that approximately 13,000 people were present when gunfire broke out during the festival on Saturday evening.

Two people were reported dead and four others seriously injured. Toronto police investigated multiple crime scenes and said their working theory involved an exchange of gunfire between two people targeting each other rather than an active-shooter incident.

Organizers said the ongoing investigation prevented the festival from continuing. The planned Sunday program on July 12 was therefore cancelled, ending the 2026 event early.
