Aptly named for its cross-section of style and genre, Intersection is an annual multi-day festival that celebrates musical experimentation, while interacting with people in their own environment, on common ground. Our flagship event is an all-day music marathon at Yonge-Dundas Square (September 2) that takes new music out of the concert hall and directly to the streets of Toronto.

Our accessible, barrier-free events engage folks who may otherwise never experience contemporary music while cross-pollinating the numerous disparate experimental music communities in Toronto. Intersection's impact reaches inquiring and aspiring young minds, underserved arts communities, the average passerby, and arts consumers. We aim to bring these artists and their audiences together to build a stronger community.
