Huge festival will let you have relaxing spa day right under busy Toronto highway
A huge wellness festival is taking over Toronto's The Bentway when The Sunrise Social returns to the city on September 20.
So, are you ready to relax right under a bustling, gridlocked highway?
Touted as "Toronto's largest morning wellness social event," in my opinion, this festival comes at the perfect time.
The summer has seen a surge in Toronto residents seeking out activities that prioritize their mental health and physical well-being, ditching nighttime club parties for morning "raves" and viral exercise routines.
Past Sunrise Social events have been met with significant buzz on social media, pointing to the fact that there is a market for this kind of festival.
And of course, its unique location adds to the excitement. The Bentway — located right beneath the Gardiner Expressway — may not be where you think you want to go for a day out at the spa, but it's definitely where you should be heading that weekend.
Your ticket includes a guided breath and movement session, plus unlimited access to both the cold plunges and saunas throughout the day.
Imagine creating your own circuit of hot and cold plunges, dipping into the sauna whenever you feel like it, and participating in wellness workshops all in one morning.
Now picture doing that under a busy highway.
Tickets also come with a live musical performance — performer information is yet to be announced — and if you're feeling lucky, take part in an exclusive contest to win cold water gear and the ultimate grand prize: an entry to Cold Camp next winter.
The day is divided into three different sessions, so you can choose to attend the breath and movement session that best suits your needs and interests. Tickets are $79.73, and you can purchase them here.
This isn't your typical Saturday morning — hundreds of health enthusiasts are slated to come out and devote their Saturday morning to their bodies and minds.
The Sunrise Social is taking place on September 20 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and happening at The Bentway, located at 250 Fort York Boulevard.
