Join DesignTO for the official 2025 Launch Party as we kick off our 15th Festival and celebrate DesignTO’s legacy of fostering belonging and sparking vital conversations about design’s role in shaping a better world.

This event brings together Toronto’s creative community and serves as a fundraiser for our non-profit Festival. Ticket proceeds will support our purpose of bringing people together to design a better future.

The Launch Party will take place at the Harbourfront Centre on Toronto’s waterfront! Experience a one-night-only installation by Toronto-based artist Asli Alin. Be among the first to see ‘REVIVE,’ a DesignTO-curated group exhibition in Gallery 235 featuring the work of seven local and international artists and designers. Additionally, explore three new exhibitions across the venue showcasing works in lighting, sculpture, glass, textiles, ceramics, and more. Dance the night away to music by DJs Fly Lady Di and Delicious.
