🔥🌅 GOODBYE SUMMER, HELLO FALL: TORONTO ISLAND BONFIRE 🌅🔥

🔥🌅 GOODBYE SUMMER, HELLO FALL: TORONTO ISLAND BONFIRE 🌅🔥

Fire, Food, Music & One Last Summer Night by the Lake

Summer has to end eventually — so why not send it off properly? Join us on Toronto Island for an evening bonfire at Olympic Island as we say goodbye to summer and welcome the beginning of fall. We’ll take the ferry across together, settle in by the fire, enjoy some food and music, roast marshmallows, and spend the evening relaxing by the water with the Toronto skyline in the background.

This isn't a walk. It isn't a tour.

It's a social evening designed to give us time to actually sit around, talk, laugh, eat, and connect with one another. Whether you've been coming to the group for years or this is your first event, this is a chance to slow down and enjoy the people around you.
