Distillery District is transforming into a giant outdoor patio with towering palm trees

It’s going to be an eventful spring and summer in the Distillery! This long weekend is the 20th anniversary of the modern-day Distillery District, and it’s celebrating in a big way.

On Victoria Day weekend, Distillery will host an anniversary party with a live music lineup curated by Grammy award-winning Music Director Kevin Ray Clark.

From Friday the 19th to Monday the 22nd, various live bands and musical acts will take centre stage in the heart of the District.

Also running from May 19th to October 8th is the summer busker series, featuring magicians, jugglers, and other live entertainment every Saturday and Sunday.

From May 19th to June 26th, Distillery’s bustling Trinity Street will transform into a giant outdoor patio with over 150 seats, decorated with towering palm trees and fresh florals.

Visitors can grab a tasty snack from the Trinity Eats food truck or cool down with a frozen treat from the paleta cart.

Every weekend starting on May 20th, The Distillery Local Market will have all kinds of artisanal and local products for sale.
