Feist, Alessia Cara headline free Toronto healthcare festival Saturday
TOgether for Toronto Healthcare brings Juno and Grammy winners to Nathan Phillips Square June 6. Food trucks, wellness programming, and prizes included.
A massive free music and wellness festival is taking over Nathan Phillips Square on Saturday, June 6, with a lineup built entirely around Canadian talent: 11-time Juno winner Feist, Grammy winner Alessia Cara, indie rock icons Broken Social Scene, and Paul Langlois of The Tragically Hip.
TOgether for Toronto Healthcare, presented by Fitzrovia, aims to raise $1 million for Michael Garron Hospital and UHN. According to Fitzrovia CEO Adrian Rocca, the event is a deliberate show of Canadian pride. "With all the negative noise south of the border, we really wanted to put together an event that featured all Canadian talent," Rocca said. "It felt like we needed a rallying moment as Canadians."
Beyond the music, the square will be packed with food trucks, wellness programming, and interactive activities. Attendees who donate can win prizes ranging from a Dodge Charger Daytona to courtside Toronto Raptors tickets. Organizers have also hinted at surprise guests and special moments throughout the day.
The festival runs from noon until late at 100 Queen Street West. Bring friends, bring appetite, bring your city pride.
