About this event

Join The Bentway for a fabulous party to kick-off summer in the city! Come mix, mingle, and dance under the Gardiner with friends and neighbours. Groove to beats from local DJs Lucie Tic and Fawn Big Canoe, take a break for eats from your favourite food trucks, and check out our just-opened public art exhibition Softer City. 

The evening culminates with a massive collective line dance, led by local queer line dancing icons SPURS. Grab your dancing shoes, try something new, and maybe even meet a summer bff!

Organized by

The Bentway

The Bentway works to ignite the urban imagination, using the city as site, subject, and canvas. Anchored under Toronto’s Gardiner Expressway and guiding its complex future, The Bentway is a growing public space, and much more. It is a new type of civic organization: an independent charity and a not-for-profit, powered by vital partnerships with the City of Toronto, residents, supporters, artists, creatives, city-builders, and dreamers. The Bentway is a catalyst rooted in experimentation, demonstration, and regeneration; leading a creative movement to re-imagine the opportunities of urban spaces.

Since Phase 1 of The Bentway – under the Gardiner from Strachan Ave to Fort York Blvd – opened in 2018, it has proven to be a vital public space, backyard park, cultural platform, connector for the western Waterfront corridor and a demonstration of what is possible. In partnership with the City of Toronto, The Bentway is creating a network of public spaces, developing a cohesive vision for wayfinding and reconnecting the waterfront to the downtown core.
