Yonge Street is shut down in preparation for Katy Perry’s Thursday, June 30, 2011 appearance at Sears in the Toronto Eaton Centre. She is scheduled for 3pm and there is a stage set up outside of Sears on Yonge Street, just south of Dundas Street. Katy has released a signature fragrance called Purr and her promotional visit features a Q&A period from 3 to 3:30pm. Even at lunchtime the fans started to gather round the stage, by 3 the crowd was jammed into the street waiting for her to show up. I had to leave as by quarter to four she still hadn't made an appearance.
The singer is in town for a set of concerts at the ACC with the last one happening tonight. Toronto Police 52 Division has said that Yonge Street will be closed from Edmund to Richmond Streets from 10am to 6pm for
the event.
