Wade is a playful city-wide project celebrating Toronto’s communities through their wading pools. Twenty-two free scheduled performances and installations invite people of all ages to explore these amazing public spaces in our city. Wade will launch the wading pool season on Friday June 25th with a celebration at 9pm in Bellevue Square Park, Kensington Market. Wade continues throughout the city the entire weekend.
Wade: creating a parallel between the container of the city, the pool, and ourselves. Celebrating water, the projects raise awareness of the city’s pool spaces for community gathering and play.
