Hidden Rivers 2025 Kick-Off
Hidden Rivers is back! Come celebrate the joy of summer in Toronto and the wonder of exploring the city together in Christie Pitts Park. Whether you attended every tour last summer or haven't yet had the chance to join, this picnic is for you.
This is a gathering of soon-to-be-friends in the park—an opportunity to meet the curious and enthusiastic people who make these tours so special. We now have the data to confirm that Hidden Rivers is an evidence-based way to make genuine, lasting friendships: at our Riverdale Park picnic last summer, several group chats were formed that continue to this day. Goals!
This picnic will have everything: live music, collaborative art projects, a rainbow parachute. But we're also counting on you to make this a serious celebration: bring food, bring games, bring blankets, bring balloon animals. No decoration is too small, no game too silly — if you've got it, bring it!
This event will immediately follow my Saturday June 28th tour, which will end at Wychwood Park at 5pm. Wychwood is a 20 minute walk, 15 minute bus ride, or 10 minute bike ride from Christie Pitts.
I cannot wait to see you and explore the city together this summer!
