One of Toronto’s most anticipated summer events will soon be returning to the historic Distillery District.
For its 15th year, the Lavazza IncluCity Festival will be back with its signature blend of international cinema, live music, and incredible food, taking over the neighbourhood’s iconic cobblestone streets. Running from June 25 to July 19, 2026, the month-long event is a beloved summer tradition, offering a unique opportunity to catch global film premieres under the stars.
The venue will be completely reimagined into an open-air festival village, featuring comfortable outdoor theatres, large-scale art installations, and nightly red carpets. This year, the festival will also unveil a brand-new immersive exhibition called AiRTIFICIAL VISIONS, which explores the intersection of human emotion and AI art.
The main draw of the festival is its incredible nightly film screenings, which highlight contemporary voices from Italy, Canada, and all over the globe. Beyond the movies, each ticket includes a curated food and beverage tasting journey. While you watch the films, you can sip on a Campari cocktail, Birra Moretti, or Masi Prosecco, alongside premium Lavazza coffee and delicious bites from Eataly, Barilla, and Ferrero.
The full movie lineup will officially drop on May 28, but early bird ticket packages which offer a 30% discount are already up for grabs on the ICFF website. General tickets start at $22 and include the full tasting experience.
The Lavazza IncluCity Festival takes place at the Distillery Historic District from June 25 to July 19, 2026, with evening activities and food activations kicking off around 6:30 p.m. If you can’t make it to the physical event, you can also catch a selection of films online across Canada via the “ICFF at Home” digital platform from July 4 to July 14.
