Fast in the 6

Fast in the 6 is a free evening of food, fun and fireworks, coinciding with Ramadan, to celebrate the diversity of our great city through the common experience of the breaking of the fast. Founded by Toronto philanthropists, Dany and Lisa Assaf, the event affirms the city’s leadership as a major global centre of both social and economic opportunity.

Fast in the 6 is open to Torontonians of all backgrounds to share in the spirit of the breaking of the fast, which is common to many heritages, and to enjoy a fun evening of entertainment.

In addition to delicious food, the evening will also be filled with laughs, live music and fireworks.

Maple Lodge Farms and Sobeys will hand out free meals to break the fast at sunset. There will also be food trucks serving up delicious eats.

The evening of celebration in the Square will include music and entertainment as well as spectacular fireworks from the top of City Hall. This year’s headliner is the very talented Amaal Nuux and also appearing will be Raz Hyder.
