Are you ready for it? Taylor Swift will finally bring The Eras Tour to Toronto for six dates later this month. From November 14-16 and 21-23, Taylor Swift will perform at The Rogers Centre to thousands of fans at one of the city’s most-anticipated concert events of the year.
Over the next few weeks, the city will be buzzing with Taylor Swift-inspired events to celebrate her arrival in Toronto. From bracelet-making extravaganzas to fan dance parties to trivia, drag, and city tours, there is something for every Swiftie to enjoy this month—even if you weren’t able to score tickets to the concert.
At each stop of The Eras Tour, Taylor has donated to local food banks. We want to highlight that several of the events below are accepting food and/or monetary donations for Canadian food banks. At a time when 1 in 10 Torontonians are relying on food banks to get by, and with record numbers seen at food banks across the country, this support is needed now more than ever.
We love the energy and excitement The Eras Tour is bringing to Toronto. There is nothing like witnessing the positive vibes of a community going all out to celebrate their shared love of an artist. Whether or not you are attending The Eras Tour in Toronto, we hope you can find some joy in these events, and curate a Swiftie experience right out of your wildest dreams.
