Escape the digital noise and reconnect with the quintessential Toronto summer at The Mid-Summer Picnic. Set in the iconic Trinity Bellwoods Park, this gathering is all about slowing down and enjoying the season properly.

What to Expect This isn't your average park hang. The event features a traditional Portuguese BBQ feast, complete with smoky Piri-Piri chicken and fresh Natas. To keep the vibe intentional, it is a designated “No-Phone Zone,” encouraging guests to engage with the lawn games—like Bocce and Mölkky—and participate in “World Citizen” conversation prompts designed to explore the balance between local life and travel.

How to Join This is an exclusive, intimate affair. The exact coordinates of the “secret grove” where the picnic is held will be shared with ticket holders just two hours before the event begins, adding a fun element of mystery to your afternoon. It’s a fantastic way to meet new people and enjoy one of the city's best green spaces without the usual crowds. Make sure to book your spot early to secure your place at the table.
