On Father’s Day, Sunday, June 19th, the red carpet will be rolled out on Bloor Street between Avenue Road and Bay Street to welcome fans back to the Yorkville Exotic Car Show. From humble beginnings in 2010, the Yorkville Exotic Car Show has grown into one of Canada’s largest outdoor single-day events.
Presenting partner, the Bloor Yorkville BIA, has been a long-time partner of the show since the beginning. The Bloor Yorkville BIA represents over 1400 businesses throughout the iconic neighbourhood. Bloor Street in Yorkville is considered one of the most luxurious shopping streets in North America.
The Yorkville Exotic Car Show
The Yorkville Exotic Car Show showcases the best in exotic, luxury, sport, and supercars the GTA has to offer. Cars on display are selected for their unique contribution to the evolution of their brand or category. Bloor St. will be closed off between Bay St. and Avenue Rd. to street traffic, including Bellair St. and St. Thomas St., for the show.

The almost 100 entries are arranged in corrals, Platinum, Porsche, American, CarsnChai, Aston Martin, and an Open Class. Attendees won’t want to miss the 70th Anniversary of the Corvette display featuring the 2022 Corvette C8R and 2022 Corvette Stingray.
New for 2022, Toronto-based graffiti artist, large-scale muralist, and professional painter Poser will be at the event creating a live art installation, auctioning the pieces off on Sunday to raise funds for Melanoma Canada.
Since 2010, the YECS has raised $420,000 for cancer research. All proceeds from the show are donated to Melanoma Canada (formerly Melanoma Network of Canada). Melanoma Canada was founded in 2009 and has become a leading national resource for melanoma and skin cancer patients. With the launch of their new brand, they are focused on providing crucial education, prevention programs, and support services for the patient, caregiver, and clinical community. The organization will continue to unite the voice of the melanoma and skin cancer community, advocating for improved care and access to new and improved treatment options.
The show is free to attend and takes place from 12 pm to 5 pm on Father’s Day, Sunday, June 19th. You don’t have to wait until Father’s Day to see the cars because featured cars are already available for viewing online. Each vehicle has a dedicated page where you can preview the cars and donate to Melanoma Canada in support of your favourites. Visit www.yorkvilleexotics.com and select Sponsor a Car to show your support.
