SummerWorks Performance Festival

August 1–11 2024

Welcome to the 34th SummerWorks Performance Festival!

In response to the current zeitgeist, the 2024 SummerWorks Performance Festival presents 11 days of bold creative expressions from a diversity of perspectives and lived experiences, that engage with the idea of survival, in both subtle and blunt ways, with nuanced complexity.

With over 40+ events and activities, all curated and designed around the idea of gathering together in public space, this year’s Festival offers you a moment to pause and reflect, to dive into the energy and chaos, and to witness dynamic live performances by independent artists from across Canada, and around the world.

We invite you to join SummerWorks this summer, for an inspiring, thought-provoking, and a magical experience.
