Toronto 
Events Description
Join us for an evening of spectacle and lights with puppets, stilt-walkers and live music. As dark falls, join a lantern-lit parade that winds through the community to the beach.
See the story unfold in an outdoor theatrical extravaganza. Mother Earth is under threat from Big Plans by Big Business. Can She protect our waters, parks, wildlife and homes? Who will prevail?
Bring friends and family (and lanterns). Come early to enjoy Ward’s Island – swim at the nearby beach and have a picnic.
Drinks, meals, snacks and icecream are available at the nearby Island Cafe.
Shadowland welcomes visual artists, theatre artists and community members to join together over the residency week to create lanterns, puppets costumes and short puppet and theatre works. We also invite workshop participants to the Fire Parade Show Rehearsal on July 30 (7pm) and again for the Ward’s Island Fire Parade on July 31 (8:30pm).
