International Avenue is a culturally rich and dynamic shopping and dining district that runs along 17^th Avenue SE, between 26^th and 61^st streets.

Need some jasmine for an Indian dish? Come here. Looking for a certain kind of Vietnamese fish sauce? Come here. Craving authentic German sausage? Yup, it’s here too.

It’s not all about the taste buds though; there are also dozens of clothing boutiques, flower shops, jewellery stores, business services and specialty stops.

In August the area really comes alive with GlobalFest, an international fireworks competition and cultural celebration.
