Why Toronto's early morning rave scene is taking off

Let's be real: we're all exploring different ideas to have a good time without the late nights and alcohol. Right? Right! And that's why I think the bizarre concept of early morning raves has become such a trend in Toronto!

Think lots of dancing, your favourite workouts, some fresh juices, and coffee for days…all of this in broad daylight — sometimes even before 10 a.m. if you go for an early morning disco workout — and without the hangover. Do I have your attention?

Toronto residents are calling the morning rave scene the newest phenomenon that's here to stay; they're refreshing and feel-good experiences that give you a long-lasting serotonin rush. Can't we all use this more often than not? I think so! 

This new gen of party-goers is raving (yes, pun intended) about the morning discos and how what used to be an after-hours hangover remedy has blossomed into a vibrant scene aimed at mixing nostalgia, wellness, and community with a healthy dose of glitter.

The best part? These experiences are popping up everywhere in the city!
