The square

In the heart of downtown

Nathan Phillips Square spreads out in front of Toronto City Hall — an iconic public space with its reflecting pool, arching walkways and the TORONTO sign. For three days it becomes PanamFest's Pan-American stage: live music, kitchens from across the Americas, and a cultural marketplace, all free to attend.
