The event takes place at the Great Hall in Toronto (1087 Queen Street West) on February 25th 2023, from 3pm to 11pm, with a focus on celebrating Black performing artists from a variety of backgrounds and genres. Guests will also have the opportunity to visit a vendors market featuring artisanal products from Black-owned businesses in the GTA.

“The theme for this year’s event is #BlackInCanada, which we hope will ignite conversations about how Black people contribute to the fabric of our country’s arts & culture.” says chief executive director of Waveland, Del Mahabadi. “It’s also an opportunity for us as Canadians to come together and celebrate our cultural diversity by supporting Black-owned businesses through our vendor market and enjoying performances from drag kings and queens,and musicians from across Canada who are making their voices heard through their work.”
