A huge free music and wellness festival is coming to the city this June, and it’s bringing some of Canada’s biggest stars along with it.
TOgether for Toronto Healthcare will transform Nathan Phillips Square into a hub of live music, movement, and community this spring, but also carries a powerful mission: raising over $1 million for the UHN Foundation and Michael Garron Hospital Foundation.
Besides music, the festival has a heavy focus on health and wellness. You can expect curated programming from big names like Barry’s Canada and Lululemon, plus a dedicated kids’ zone hosted by Busy Minds to keep the little ones entertained.
Later in the day, the square will turn into a massive outdoor concert venue. This year’s inaugural lineup is stacked with Juno-winning talent and hometown heroes, including Feist, Alessia Cara, Broken Social Scene and Paul Langlois of The Tragically Hip.
While the event is completely free to attend, the organizers hopes attendees “show up and make it count”. Throughout the festival, there will be interactive fundraising moments where guests can show their gratitude for Toronto’s healthcare workers.
To sweeten the deal, those who donate will have the chance to walk away with some serious prizes, ranging from courtside Raptors tickets to a brand-new Dodge Charger Daytona.
The TOgether festival takes over Nathan Phillips Square on Saturday, June 6, with the action running from 12 pm until late. You can find more details and the full schedule on the official TOgether website.
