The Pancakes & Booze Art Show, one of the “largest pop-up art movements” to hit North America, is coming back to Toronto this week. The underground pop-up experience will feature over 75 local artists, showcasing over 300 pieces of artwork. Oh, and free all-you-can-eat pancakes. Here’s what to know about the beloved event.

This year, organizers are celebrating 15 years of the Pancakes & Booze Art Show, and it’s coming to the city on March 20, 2026.

What to expect

Doors will open to the public starting right at 7 p.m., and the experience will run until late at night.

Feast your eyes on over 300 pieces of artwork from local artists and engage in live audio showcases from local DJs and producers. On top of that, enjoy some maple syrup-slathered pancakes – as much as you want.

There will also be live body painting to enjoy. Food, live shows and the best vibes? What more could you ask for?

According to organizers, the art is on exhibit until midnight, but the bar typically stays open later.

The Pancakes & Booze Art Show was born in LA back in 2009. It has since expanded across more than 35 cities around Europe and North America, more than 500 times.

“This is no stuffy wine-and-cheese, pretentious, someone-gag-me art event,” share organizers. “It’s an innovative reimagining of the art show concept. A welcoming vibe for up-and-coming artists to sell and strut their stuff in a free verse, anything goes environment.”

Tickets are on sale now, and if you want to save a few bucks, you can get them online for $20 plus fees. Otherwise, tickets are $25 at the door, the day of the show.

It’s important to note that this ticket does not guarantee immediate entry, and it is based on capacity when you arrive.

That means show up early. And since it’s a popular event, you’ll definitely want to.

See you there, Toronto!
