Volvo Midsummer: A celebration of community, local flora, and a greener future
When: July 7-8, 2023
Where: Stackt Market (28 Bathurst Street)
Activities:
Open Air Midsummer Gallery: Enchanting florals take over Volvo’s fleet of hybrid and pure electric vehicles. Botanic installations will feature designs by Bloem Flowers, Blush and Bloom, Euclid Farms and Kenilworth Florals;
Bowery Project Pocket Park: Check out the urban farm and pollinator garden from Bowery Project, a not-for-profit organization with a mission to create opportunities for urban agriculture through the temporary use of vacant lots. The modular planting design will live at Stack throughout the growing season, with harvests being donated to Alexandra Park Community Centre and local community fridges;
Engaging Workshops: Get educated, get inspired and get growing with a series of workshops on all things flora, including pollinator gardens, flower crowns and building your own bouquets;
Local Vendors: Shop organic and ethical goods from local makers. For some Midsummer-inspired eats, a range of Smørrebrød (aka "butter bread") will be available for purchase;
On-Site Test Drives: A fleet of Volvo vehicles (including the Volvo XC90, XC60, XC40, S90, S60 and C40) will be available for guests to take out for a test drive around the Toronto lakeshore
