The Throbbing Rose Collective has confirmed that the seventh edition of Nuit Rose will take place June 18–20, 2026, with the main event on Saturday, June 20 from 6:00 PM throughout Toronto’s Church–Wellesley Village.

The festival’s return theme is REWILDING — an invitation to reclaim, reimagine, and reanimate queer space through light, sound, installation, live performance, and community activation. Artists who responded to a call for submissions will be selected through a jury process in the coming weeks. First conceived in 2014 as part of World Pride in Toronto, Nuit Rose grew from a single-night grassroots event into one of Canada’s most recognized queer art festivals, presenting over 300 projects across six editions between 2014 and 2019.
