Assuming that's King & Francis (and I do think it is), King St has been closed that far at least twice this summer. Once was some kind of food truck festival (?) early in the summer, the second might have the multicultural festival.
The Blues Festival is further east on King, closing from Frederick/Benton up to City Hall, probably because that makes sense with the locations of the YNC (at City Hall) and BIA (between Queen and Frederick) stages book-ending the stretch of King St that's closed.
The closure you refer to was at King and Water for the food truck festival that I attended, which is a very common closure point. King and Francis hasn't had much closure because construction has seen that area of King fenced off as far south as the end of McCabe's. If I recall, there may have been an event in the parking lot bound by 305 King and the TD building, but I was out of town for that.
