TORONTO, WE'RE BRINGING THE SOUL BACK TO THE ICE!Soul Kitchen returns to Harbourfront Centre for Boxing Night and the final skate night of 2026, bringing together music, community and culture under the stars on Toronto's waterfront.
Created in 2003 by cultural curator and creative entrepreneur Ian Andre Espinet, Soul Kitchen helped pioneer R&B-focused nightlife experiences in Canada, building a legacy rooted in musical integrity, Black music culture and community.
Now, that experience returns to the ice.
Set against the spectacular backdrop of Toronto's waterfront and city skyline, SOUL KITCHEN: RNB ON ICE brings the sounds of classic and contemporary R&B, neo-soul, new jack swing, slow jams, deep cuts and hip-hop soul to one of the city's most distinctive outdoor winter settings.
From the classics you grew up with to the records that defined a generation, expect a soundtrack made for singing along, skating with friends and sharing moments with the people who matter.
Whether you're spending Boxing Day with family, enjoying a date night, skating with friends or simply coming for the music and atmosphere, Soul Kitchen welcomes you.
No dance floor required. Just bring your skates, your people and your love of good music.
