About this Event
Winterista: Toronto’s Family Winter Festival
Winterista is Toronto’s newest winter destination, transforming Motorista Studio into a magical world of ice, light, and creativity from January 23 to February 14.
By day, families step into a sparkling winter playground filled with interactive ice features, hands-on activities, and cozy spaces to explore together. Kids can enjoy ice science experiments, carving demonstrations, and playful photo moments while parents relax with warm drinks in beautifully designed winter lounges.
As evening arrives, Winterista shifts into a glowing winter escape. Soft lighting, music, and illuminated ice installations create a calm, immersive atmosphere that feels both festive and elegant. It remains family-friendly throughout, with alcohol service available at the Motorista bar after 7 PM for adults.
