Create an itinerary including Toronto Music Garden
Fans of classical music appreciate Toronto Music Garden, a picturesque urban green space and outdoor music venue inspired by Bach’s First Suite for Unaccompanied Cello. Curves and swirling pathways as well as graded seating typify the gardens' attractive architecture. Designed by landscape architect Julie Moir Messervy with help from internationally famed cellist Yo Yo Ma, the gardens host an array of concerts throughout the year; check the schedule ahead of arrival. Even if there are no events scheduled, take some time out for contemplation in these verdant settings.

  • Beautiful garden at the core of the waterfront along the banks of Lake Ontario. It's got exhilaration boardwalks and trails accessible throughout the day/night/year. The summers are amazing with live music played. Good for family friends and your pet to walk and relax. Accessible by walking and street cars. I would highly recommend this place to relax and have fun.
  • The garden is a good place for family. Can see Toronto Harbour front. A short walk with family or friends to enjoy the flowers and tress. You may see guitarist singing songs so you can relax to enjoy the performance. Flowers blooming hence can take nice photos
  • Picturesque gardens by the waterfront create a gorgeous backdrop for this casual amphitheatre that both music and nature lovers alike can fully appreciate. Kid- and pet- friendly. Take a blanket to stretch out on the sun-soaked lawns or under the tree canopy of your choosing. Times are listed for performances but check in advance so you don't miss great local talent. (Visited during Summer, August).
  • I spend my summers down here. Sitting by the docks bring me a sense of calm. When I listen to concerts in the park, presented by Harborfront, in truly is my happy place. I am so glad summer concerts are back! These truly save my sanity!
  • A small and lush green park to spend time on a sunny day. There was some ceremony going on as well as the top of amphitheatre. Maybe you can reserve/book the spot.
