From their humble beginnings as Arts & Crafts’ 10th anniversary celebration, to the two-day boutique music and arts festival they are today, Field Trip Festival has been successfully captivating audiences for nearly four summers. Located in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada at Historic Fort York & Garrison Common, the site sits at the foot of Bathurst Street and represents an amazing piece of the city’s rich history. It is a beautiful green field that overlooks the the skyline of the city, as if trying to let you know that nature is not that far away. Field Trip is about so much more than just the great, world-class music. Food, art, comedy, family, fashion and technology are among their many inspirations and each year’s Field Trip is dedicated to collaborative explorations of all those themes. Allowing for all ages to enter, the festival has given the attendees the opportunity to bring their whole family, giving children an incredible introduction into the culture of a festival and showing them safely and securely an experience of a lifetime they can grow from and cherish forever.
This year, in the early warmth of June, the park will come alive, being transformed into a colorful retreat that is diverse with so many exhibits. 2016 will bring a whole new crop of Toronto’s emergent visual creators to the Field Trip foreground. Fans and families will be able to explore the amazing green space and be immersed within the site like never before. They’ll be going bigger and better still, building an immersive, custom experience around the festival that will educate and also just plain blow some minds.
