Beach Party Market

Being a goth in Toronto during peak summer humidity is no joke, which is why Ground Control on Queen Street West is flipping the script with their tongue-in-cheek Beach Party Market. Skip the actual sand and head into a frosty, air-conditioned nightclub haven where parasols are encouraged and the sun is strictly optional.

Shop Alternative Art and Curiosities The venue will host over 35 independent artists and artisans showcasing a curated collection of dark, alternative wares, handmade jewelry, gothic fashion, and unique oddities. It’s the ultimate gathering spot for anyone whose aesthetic leans toward the mysterious and macabre.

Drinks and Vibe The bar will be fully open so you can sip a cold beverage while browsing the vendor tables at a leisurely pace. Family and dog-friendly, admission is completely free, making it an effortless Saturday afternoon stop in West Queen West. Grab your crew, leave the heavy velvet at home (or wear it anyway), and support Toronto's thriving subculture community.
