Description

An in-depth look into Toronto’s diverse underground music scene and the myriad challenges that musicians, promoters and venues faced during the COVID-19 pandemic. No Tickets at the Door sees the community tackle questions about creative survival and perseverance during lockdown, as well as the overwhelming effects of relentless gentrification. A love letter to the scene, this timely documentary explores the creative impulses that are driving musicians today while paying close attention to the endangered status of Toronto as an incubator for the arts.

Tickets: FREE for Doors Open Toronto


One May weekend each year, Doors Open Toronto invites the public to explore the city’s most-loved buildings and sites, free of charge. The event, which is recognized as one of Toronto’s most culturally significant events, provides rare access to buildings that are not usually open to the public and free access to sites that would usually charge an admission fee. Since its inception in 2000, it has attracted more than two million visits to nearly 700 unique locations and remains the largest event of its kind in Canada.
