Toronto’s most iconic outdoor summer garden party returns August 13—a midsummer night under the stars
July 14, 2025 (Toronto, ON) – Tricon and Toronto Life are excited to announce the return of Toronto’s most celebrated summer garden party, taking place Wednesday, August 13, 2025, from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Evergreen Brick Works.
This year’s event invites guests to experience a midsummer night under the stars—an elegant evening of music, makers, and culinary moments set against the natural beauty of one of the city’s most storied outdoor spaces. Designed to delight all the senses, the evening will feature curated musical performances, floral installations, and candlelit cocktails in a setting that captures the magic of summer in Toronto.
Tricon and Toronto Life are long-standing partners committed to delivering exceptional city-defining experiences that connect people to the best of Toronto’s food, culture, and community scene. The 2025 Summer Garden Party promises a dazzling midsummer celebration for 600 guests, brought to life through immersive entertainment, culinary discovery, and the city’s cultural scene, curated by top sponsors including Penguin Random House Canada and Saint Lucia Tourism Authority.
"The Toronto Life Garden Party is one of the city's most dynamic celebrations, and we are thrilled to be bringing this event back in partnership with Tricon,” said Jason Maghanoy, Group Publisher, SJC Media.”It brings together everything we love about the city... and we can't wait to share this experience with all of you.”
Formerly a brick factory that produced the bricks for Toronto‘s neighbourhoods, today, Evergreen Brick Works is a vibrant space and community hub set in the heart of the city’s ravines. Hosting the event here is a nod to Toronto's city-building past and Tricon's plans for the future. The Brick Works operates as a social enterprise with all proceeds going towards their charity, Evergreen, which promotes the creation of green, inclusive and climate-ready public spaces across Canada.
“Evergreen BrickWorks sits where the city meets the park – a place shaped by Toronto’s history and its future. That makes it a powerful backdrop for our Summer Garden Party and for the kind of city-building we believe in at Tricon. Through our partnership with Toronto Life, we’re creating shared experiences that reflect the full potential of rental living – community, culture, connection –not just for our residents, but for the broader city as well,” said Andrew Joyner, Managing Director and Head of Multi-Family at Tricon. “This is the summer party Toronto's been waiting for – a must for anyone who loves this city, and wants to experience it at its most vibrant, under the stars.”
Highlights include:
- Live music from DJ Jon Daniels, The Sonority Sisters, and more
- Culinary delights ranging from BBQ and craft cocktails to a delectable Dessert Table
- Community activations, including The Book Nook – a reading and wine lounge
