Welcome to the 35th anniversary SummerWorks Performance Festival

With 35+ projects and over 200 artists, join us for 11 days of theatre, dance, music, and live art in theatres, in public parks, in galleries, at transit hubs, and in the spaces between!

Support SummerWorks

SummerWorks is dedicated to nurturing artistic risk and innovation in contemporary performance.

By engaging with artists from a place of care and curiosity, leading with the question “How can we best support you?”, SummerWorks creates the conditions that allow for artistic exploration and collaboration.

As a member of our Festival community, you are a key collaborator in the creation of new work. Not only are you among the first to witness and experience these performances, your donations help ensure that this work happens in the first place.

Less than 10% of our budget is derived from ticket sales. And, like so many performing arts organizations, we continue to experience the impacts of the pandemic, as one-time special project and emergency relief funds disappear. Now more than ever, we rely on the generosity of individuals like you.

Donate to SummerWorks!

Any amount is greatly appreciated. You can make a donation by:

• Offering a cash or card donation with a volunteer with a yellow bucket, onsite at the Festival
• Adding a donation or rounding up your order, when you purchase tickets online
• Visiting summerworks.ca/donate

Thank you for helping SummerWorks expand the possibilities of performance.
