Take full advantage of Toronto's summer waterfront with SummerSeries at Trillium Park, returning to Ontario Place with an incredible lineup of free live music, art, and community events running from July 18 through August 16, 2026.
Set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Ontario, this beloved annual program transforms the park into a bustling open-air cultural hub. Whether you are looking to catch cutting-edge indie acts at the Wavelength Summer Thing, explore Indigenous sounds, or dance through the MixTO Festival, there is a weekend tailored for every musical taste.
What to Expect
Spanning multiple weekends, the series highlights diverse local talent, grassroots curation, and communal celebration. Pack a blanket, grab some snacks, and settle in on the lawn for evening performances as the sun sets over the lake. Because these events are entirely free and open to all ages, crowds can pick up quickly—arriving early is recommended to secure a prime spot near the soundstage.
Getting There & Nearby Plans
Trillium Park is easily accessible via the Martin Goodman Trail for cyclists and pedestrians, or by taking the TTC streetcar to Exhibition Place and walking south through the grounds. Make a full day of it by exploring the William G. Davis Trail or grabbing dinner nearby in Liberty Village before heading down to the park for an unforgettable evening of live entertainment.
