Reclaiming and revealing relevant Toronto culture, while redefining the city’s identity.

Powered by Destination Toronto

Destination Toronto is working with the arts & culture community to collectively build and sustain the most robust, comprehensive arts, culture and entertainment events calendar in Toronto.

The Toronto Events Database (T.E.D) allows one access point for producers and organizations to input details for the events that in turn will be distributed not only on NowPlayingToronto.com (NPTO), but also other digital channels and touchpoints including DestinationToronto.com. By leading this effort Destination Toronto is expanding its role in support of our community while also directly supporting the growth and development of an extremely important sector in our city that has been hit hard by the pandemic.
