Popular Toronto winter attraction expanding to new area of the city

Toronto's internationally acclaimed design and art competition, Winter Stations, is expanding to Yonge and St. Clair with a temporary offsite installation at St. Clair Square this winter.

"Winter Stations has participated in offsite installations in the past to reach new neighbourhoods and audiences," Jessica Myers, a Senior Account Manager at kg&a, tells blogTO. 

"Its partnership with St. Clair Square represents a unique extension of this approach, bringing together Winter Stations' tradition of creative experimentation with St. Clair Square's vision of fostering growth, discovery and learning at the intersection of community, nature and art," she continues. 

This reimagining of Winter Stations will bring six installations to the square. While five of them are returning from previous years, the sixth is part of a new collaboration with Upper Canada College (UCC), giving a group of young designers the opportunity to create an art piece for the event.

The returning installations include pieces from the 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026 editions. Visitors can check out fan favourites like A Kaleidoscopic Odyssey (2024), Solair (2025), Embrace (2026), Conrad (2023), and Parade (2025), which will feature in the fall/winter edition of Winter Stations.

While the event aims to inspire creativity and bring various communities together through art, the annual winter edition remains rooted in its original home at the Beaches, where it is gearing up for its impending innings on the city's waterfront.

"The offsite installation will run until February, until the annual event returns to the beaches. Winter Stations is currently in the process of selecting the 2027 installations [and] this year’s theme is Monument," Myers confirms.

Toronto residents can check out Winter Stations at St. Clair Square from Nov. 21 through February 2027.
