Green Space Festival 2026: The Reception

Join us for this year’s Reception, hosted by Sasha Colby, for an elevated evening in support of The 519.

Green Space Festival 2026

The best alfresco parties with enticing music, queer performances, delicious food and drinks, and a whole lot of love – we present to you Green Space Festival. With an exceptional lineup of world-class DJs, legendary performers, international and local drag queen royalty and more, this festival is a prominent and dominant feature of pride month festivities in Toronto.
