Luminato First Night

Our annual adventure in the realms of art and creativity begins with a fabulous Friday-night celebration in Yonge-Dundas Square, the hub of activity for the Festival’s first six days.

R&B star Melanie Fiona and rocker Sass Jordan headline a celebration of Canadian divas for Luminato First Night, Luminato’s free opening-night concert in Yonge-Dundas Square.Juno Award-winning rocker Jordan shares the bill with Toronto-born singer-songwriter Fiona, a 2010 Juno nominee for her single Give it to Me Right. Fiona’s other chart-topping song, It Kills Me, recently earned her a 2010 Grammy nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.

You’re invited to enjoy all this and more as we party in the heart of downtown Toronto – a fun-filled start to ten days that will light up your life. Dancing isn’t just encouraged, it’s practically mandatory (after all, when a diva demands it, who can resist?). Yonge-Dundas Square becomes a dance-floor for Festival-goers in celebration of Luminato’s opening night, while Mill Street’s onsite pub offers food and drink.

TICKET PRICE: FREE!
