Get ready to paint the town red, Toronto – because the city is gearing up for an epic celebration. This week marks a monumental occasion because it’s Toronto’s 190th anniversary. From its humble beginnings to the bustling metropolis it is today, Toronto has undergone a major transformation over the years. And to honour the occasion, Celebrate Toronto is pulling out all the stops and you can join in on the festivities too.
Celebrate Toronto’s 190th anniversary
The Celebrate Toronto – City’s 190th Anniversary festival will take place on March 9 at Nathan Philips Square. There are going to be quite a few things for attendees to check out as part of the celebrations for this major milestone.
With local bands, and DJs on the live music stage, you’ll get a chance to see some unique homegrown talent. Local businesses are among the many important aspects that make up the city. So of course, there’s a ‘Toronto Made Market’ on site. The 6,000-square-foot marketplace will have locally crafted goods from 100+ local vendors.

It’s not a massive celebration without honouring The 6ix’ culinary landscape. The event will feature a variety of food stalls with different dishes, treats, and beverages. The cool and wintery outdoors means you can also grab your skates for a skating session on the rink.
Nathan Philips Square will also have a series of interactive art installations throughout, and there will be a ‘Wall of Wishes’.
Did I mention that there’ll be a 19+ licensed bar area? Local craft beers and spirits can be found here. And to end the day, you can stay for the fireworks show at 9 pm. You can share the celebration on social using #CelebrateToronto and #TO190.
