Mark your calendars. After an enormously successful first season Luminato is coming back to Toronto from June 6 – June 15. Last year over 1 million people attended 100+ fabulous events that included 10 world premieres and 3 Canadian premieres in the disciplines of music, dance, theatre, film, literature, and the visual arts. Toronto’s downtown core will be alive with the arts throughout our streets, public spaces, and stages

Although many of the events are ticketed, there are plenty of fantastic free events. Seating is available on a first come first serve basis, so arrive early to avoid disappointment. Check out the list of free events.

Luminato is a federally registered charitable organization. It raises more than $12 million from the public and private sectors that support not only the Luminato Festival, but educational programs, and community outreach. Corporate sponsorships and donations are gratefully accepted and necessary to keep this marvelous festival coming back year after year. One way that you can support the festival is to participate and show your support by buying tickets.

Volunteers are important to the success of the festival. Not only are volunteers required during the 10 days of the festival itself, they are required all year round for important work including marketing, promotions, public relations, sponsorships, and business development. If you have some time to devote to this worthwhile endeavor there are forms on the festival website that you can download and send in.
