Be transported to another era as you experience the sights and sounds of summer at Spadina in the 1920s. The historic gardens and sprawling lawns will be set for picnics and lawn games. Visitors take part in art-making workshops and tour the public rooms of the historic mansion. Live music, dancing, and a costume parade fill out the day’s activities. Shop for unique products, prepared food, and drinks from diverse local vendors. You may also pack your own picnic.
Spadina’s annual event is inspired by a garden party organized by Mary Austin in support of the Women’s Art Association of Canada in 1928. This year’s event celebrates the contributions and creativity of women in our world, our city, and our homes.
