What was once billed as a free World Cup celebration in Toronto could now cost fans anywhere from $10 to $300 to attend.

The FIFA Fan Festival, scheduled from June 11 to July 19, 2026 at Fort York and The Bentway, was initially promoted as a free event which would feature live match broadcasts, cultural performances and food vendors.
