A three-week music festival is coming to Toronto’s High Park this summer

Exciting things are happening at High Park this summer. For the first time, the park’s amphitheater will host a music festival with nightly concerts under the stars. High Park’s new music festival will span over three weeks starting in late June 2022.

The event, called Dream in High Park Summer Music Festival, will feature a wide range of emerging and beloved Toronto music artists including Jully Black and Ron Sexsmith, with the full lineup to be announced later this spring.

The festival is one of many events taking place in the park this summer as part of the Dream in High Park 2022 programming.

Opening the High Park amphitheater’s season is a new musical called Dixon Road, which “‘tells the story of a Somali family who immigrate to Canada in 1991 as the civil war begins to tear their homeland apart,” according to the description.
