2023 DesignTO Festival
The DesignTO Festival returns this January 20-29, 2023 to bring people together to design a better future, one that is more sustainable, just, and joyful. While most events and exhibitions will return to an in-person format, there are still a few events that will take place online. Most events are free, but some require a RSVP or purchased tickets. All window installations are viewable 24 hours a day from the outdoors at venues across the city.
COVID protocols may be in effect for in-person events and exhibitions.
Here are just a few ways to help you make the best of your 2023 DesignTO Festival experience.
