Spring is officially a month away, and personally, it can’t come soon enough after the winter we’ve endured!
To celebrate, the city’s favourite shipping container market is getting ready to welcome the change of the season. For the third year in a row, the Spring Equinox festival at STACKT market is returning to help Torontonians shake off the winter blues. Running from March 17 to March 22, the week-long event has quickly become a staple for those looking to embrace the new beginnings that come with the arrival of warmer weather.
Visitors who stroll through the Bathurst Street landmark will find the industrial space transformed into a wellness-focused oasis. The festival is rooted in themes of balance and growth, offering a curated mix of daily programming that caters to everyone from solo explorers to families on March Break. Guests can also expect a transformation of the market’s usual footprint into a hub of activity, featuring everything from family-friendly meditation sessions to creative DIY workshops.
One of the highlights of the celebration is the specialized vendor market, where local makers showcase unique lifestyle goods, sustainable fashion, and wellness products. If you’re looking to refresh your space or your mindset, the marketplace offers plenty of inspiration. Foodies aren’t left out either, as the market’s residents will be serving up spring-inspired food and drink specials throughout the week.
Admission to the Spring Equinox festival is completely free, making it a perfect drop-in destination for a casual afternoon of exploration. While the main festival grounds are open to all, some specific workshops and wellness classes may require advance registration and a small fee to participate.
The Spring Equinox festival runs daily from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at 28 Bathurst St. You can find the full schedule of workshops and vendor lineups on the STACKT market website.
