Venus Fest is a Toronto not-for-profit music festival, mentorship program, and concert series.
Founded in 2017, the festival is a new kind of space within music that addresses historical industry challenges from the past while looking to the future. We represent fresh and clear voices that are pushing for change and looking ahead within our communities. We are creating the future today, and our organizing team, artists, funders, and partners stand in support of this work.
Come be part of it all at our festival, mentorship, and concert programming, at a unique range of Toronto spaces, where we celebrate local and touring musicians and arts workers.

As an organization, we are working to learn more about the land we are on, and to find ways of honouring Indigenous sovereignty in our programming, in our operations, and in financial reparations wherever possible. We also acknowledge that we have a lot more work to do as an organization, and much more to learn. If you are a settler, we urge you to take some time with us to reflect and learn about the history of the land on which you live, the Indigenous communities who have cared for the land and water, and how you can participate in genuine reconciliation.
