2025 DTES Heart of the City Festival

The 2025 Festival features 100+ events across 40 venues, with the theme Dignity in Community. Together, we celebrate the strength and creativity found in our connections, and imagine what could be possible when dignity is a shared foundation for us all.

A fabulous evening of entertainment that has it all! In this timeless variety show, host and enigmatic entertainer Cherry Maraschino is accompanied by a ragtag crew of artists, puppets, and nefarious rascals. Part bygone house party, part community theatre, Maraschino Tonight is a playful interrogation of contemporary nostalgia. Reveal Yourself, a lo-fi freak music duo, uses trashy drum samples, distorted bass loops, and zany guitar hooks to capture audiences with its vocal laments and feminist satire. Reveal Yourself's avant-pop hijinx offers a compact mirror from which to view this strange, sh*t-stained world.<h4>Accessibility</h4>There is a wheelchair ramp to the main entrance of Russian Hall, with a wheelchair lift to access the Downstairs Hall, and a wheelchair accessible washroom by the Downstairs Hall.
