Presented by the Downtown Yonge BIA and TD Bank Group, and curated by Canada’s Music Incubator, Play the Parks returns for its 13th season with an exciting lineup of free weekly concerts from June to September, 2025.
Taking place across iconic Downtown Yonge locations—including 777 Bay Plaza, College Park, College Park Courtyard, Trinity Square Park, and McGill Parkette—this beloved series showcases a vibrant mix of musical genres from Canadian artists. From World, Latin, Funk, and Jazz to Afro, Rock, Classical, Hip Hop, Indigenous music and more, each performance offers a unique soundscape in the heart of the city. Some locations will also feature farmers’ markets and bike clinics, creating a lively and inclusive atmosphere for all.
