Did you hear? The Friends of Allan Gardens partnered with Venus Fest 2025 to bring live music and art to the heart of downtown Toronto — and what a spectacular event it was! Over the course of the weekend, Allan Gardens was transformed into a radiant celebration of creativity, community, and connection.
From soulful performances echoing through the historic Palm House to thought-provoking art installations nestled among the greenery, the festival created a rare blend of nature and culture that captivated everyone who attended. Visitors danced under the glass domes, shared food and laughter in the gardens, and experienced the conservatory as a living, breathing venue for artistic expression.
The celebration isn’t over just yet — the Venus Fest Art Show remains on display until October 14! 🌴Art in the Palm House and Tropical House can be seen every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., with last entry at 4:45 p.m.
❤️🔥Thanks to our partners at @venusfestival, @torontoartscouncil, and @torontopfr for their incredible support in bringing arts and culture to Allan Gardens. We can’t wait to welcome you back for more creative collaborations blooming in this historic space!
