TORONTO, April 25,
2024 /CNW/ - Exhibition Place, Canada's premier destination for events and
entertainment, is excited to announce the launch of its newest
summer event series, the Your Yard Series. This exciting
event lineup promises to bring together the Toronto community with a series of free or
low-cost community events, activities and unique experiences for
all ages and interests.
Exhibition Place is excited to launch its
newest free summer event series, the Your Yard Series.
"Community is at the heart of everything we do at Exhibition
Place, and we're thrilled to launch the Your Yard series and give
back to members of our community with carefully curated experiences
to enjoy throughout the summer," said Don
Boyle, CEO of Exhibition Place. "Whether you're interested
in exploring our historic sites, learning about urban design, or
immersing yourself in the vibrant cultural events we have planned,
we're looking forward to providing an exceptional experience for
all joining us at Exhibition Place this summer."
The series kicks off with the annual Jane's Walk on
May 4, where curious minds can embark
on guided walking tours to explore the many iconic buildings in and
around Exhibition Place. Guests can also look forward to several
free recurring events including some relaxation and zen-discovery
with Yoga in the Park in June and July, and Music in the
Park, featuring a diverse lineup of emerging and established
Toronto musicians at Centennial
Park Wednesdays in July.
The Your Yard Series also encourages members of the community to
get their creative juices flowing with several interactive
workshops. From exploring the rich history and beauty of Exhibition
Place's architectural gems with an Urban Sketching class, to
exploring the fascinating world of bees at an Urban
Beekeeping workshop on the roof of the Enercare Centre, or
delving deep into Greek mythology at a Garden of the Greek
Gods storytelling event, there's something to suit all
interests and levels.
To cap off the summer, Exhibition Place will be hosting a
Community BBQ in September, open to all to enjoy delicious
bites and take in the beautiful surroundings of the 192-acre site
with other members of the community as a last hurrah before the
cooler months roll in.
