Union Station throwing a free block party next month

No, it's not another bait-and-switch event. This time, Union Station is pairing with TD Bank Group to throw a free party at the Union Station Plaza, which backs on to Front Street.

If you stop by between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on June 2, you'll get to see Canadian artists Shawn Hook and Francesco Yates perform. Apparently, this will serve as the kick-off event for a summer-long roster of free, outdoor programming in front of Union Station.

We already know that there's going to be a food market on site, so stay tuned for more details about this burgeoning public space. For now though, you can pop by the free concert on June 2, which will also feature food trucks - including Fidel Gastro's, Heirloom and The Pop Stand - as well as free lemonade.
