TOAF is on Fire
Don’t wait til next year!
Dear TOAF Community,
We can’t quite capture the energy of our gathering at Nathan Phillips Square in words.
Yes, it’s been exceptionally hot! The art, the artists, the colours, the perfect summer music, the buzz of this massive crowd, and have you seen the pigeons yet? 😉
TOAF has been all over the news, because it’s hot!
We’re still buzzing from yesterday’s Awards Ceremony, filled with incredible talent, gorgeous smiles, tears of joy, and the deep love that runs through this community.We were thrilled to welcome Mayor Olivia Chow, who showed great warmth and support for the artists.
A few words about tender, a truly special work. The dancers weave through the crowd with softness and rigour. Delicate moments pull you in—you forget the heat, the crowd, and even where you are.
Kudos to the brilliant dancers giving it their all under the open sky, on hot concrete, and with so much heart. You’ve got to catch this today!
You have today only to connect with artists who’ve travelled from near and far to be with us.
Come soak it all in. Don’t wait until next year.
Bring your open heart, your sense of adventure, your curious mind, and join us in the heat.
With love,
The TOAF Team
