Box Concerts Summer 2026

We are excited to bring Box Concerts back for another vibrant summer, delivering free 30-minute drive-up concerts to neighbourhoods across the city in Summer 2026! 🎶

Sending music to neighbourhoods and seniors in Toronto

Box Concerts features professional singers performing 30-minute sets of classical, musical theatre, and popular songs, including original Canadian works. Box Concerts was conceived to reach people, especially seniors, who felt isolated by the pandemic. After achieving great success with families and kids, it has evolved into a stage that travels around Toronto, bringing thrilling music to those who may never have attended a concert. For the past four summers, Box Concerts has delivered over 300 performances to the delight of over 5,000 Torontonians in long-term care homes, parks, and local neighbourhoods.

“I’ve had the box concerts on my street for four years. Not only has the attendance grown each time, but the attendance of kids has grown each time and it’s been pretty heartwarming… they even reference it in conversations with each other. This last summer kids and little ones were spontaneously dancing and at the end of the concert rushed the ‘stage’ to ask Alicia the singer questions like she was a popstar!”

Let’s make this summer unforgettable with music and community! 🎵

What is a Box Concert?

Box Concerts is a curbside performance from a travelling box that unfolds to reveal a one-person concert stage on a trailer! Each 30-minute performance features a different singer. Box Concerts are suitable for the whole family and are available for private residences, community hubs, and senior homes in the City of Toronto.
