To mark its 20th anniversary, BIG on Bloor will debut CEREMONY, a major new curatorial feature that transforms a neighbourhood side street into an immersive public art environment.
Inspired by multicultural wedding traditions, CEREMONY presents a series of interactive installations and live performances that explore themes of connection, ritual, and collective celebration.
The project invites audiences to move through a rotating program of artistic interpretations drawn from global matrimonial customs.
As a signature anniversary initiative, CEREMONY expands the festival’s long-standing commitment to inclusion and artistic innovation, with a focus on equity-deserving artists and cross-cultural exchange. The project also continues BIG on Bloor’s mandate to animate public space in ways that are participatory, accessible, and community-driven.
Festival attendees are invited to experience CEREMONY at this year's BIG on Bloor not just as spectators, but as wedding guests.
Public spaces meet more than one community need. We are excited to present an alternative community event that celebrate community-building, local businesses and the diverse arts and culture of the area. Calm down zones, less vendor crowding and environmental installations are a focus this year to emphasis the community, its creators and the local shops which makes us great.
Made possible by the Bloordale BIA, BIG on Bloor is free and open to everyone
