Dance with us – Day 5 of TOAF62
Tomorrow is the big day and we are enthusiastically looking forward to hosting you at Nathan Phillips Square. Here are some more details about your weekend. This art-filled weekend wouldn’t be complete without a good dose of live music and dance performances.
We can hardly wait to see Leap (of faith), a new site-specific dance commission by choreographers Jenn Goodwin and Sarah Doucet. Leap is layered with poetry, architecture, vulnerability and a great sense of humour. It will take place in an unexpected location at Nathan Phillips Square.
Small World Music has once again put together the best bands for a perfect summer day in the city. The captivating sounds of Las Empanadas Ilegales, Kazdoura, and Trash Panda Brass will surely charm you to a twirl.
Friday and Saturday, the Beer Garden will be open late until 9:00 PM, serving the exclusive TOAF beer from Henderson Brewing and hosting super cool DJs, INTRINITY and Sawtay. Be ready to dance with us!
Today’s studio tour takes us to Québec to experience an exclusive behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of contemporary quilts created by Marilyn B. Armand. In the live Artist Chats, Laura Kay Keeling and Carolyn Cheng will compare notes on their unique visions of the natural world that influences their works.
For the Curated Collections of the day, Canada’s fashion guru, Jeanne Beker brings you an exquisite selection of works in Fashionable Finds and William Huffman, shares his keen eye for Something Completely Different.
We are excited to see you tomorrow at the Square!

Friday & Saturday 12:00 – 9:00 PM
Enjoy a TOAF exclusive craft beer by our friends at Henderson Brewing Co. For this July’s ‘Ides’ beer, they brewed a very quaffable, subtly fruity and spicy Kõlsch with a crisp and clean finish, perfect for a warm Summer’s day. The beer label art is by Sasha Sutherland, recipient of the 2022 Best of Painting Award. Sasha works with vibrant colours to lend a utopian dimension to the cities she depicts.
You can also buy this beer in a pack at TOAF (Zone D) and take it home with you.
