The DesignTO Festival will be returning to Toronto to celebrate its 15th anniversary.

The festival, which will be taking place from January 24 to February 2, 2025, will feature over 100 free events, installations, tours, talks and exhibitions by more than 300 designers and artists.

“It’s incredible to see how much we’ve grown,” said Jeremy Vandermeij, executive director and co-founder of DesignTO. “We’ve welcomed over one million attendees, reached 2.6 billion people through media, supported more than 6,500 artists, and generated $120 million in tourism spending. And there’s more to come!”

DesignTO supports a vision of design that is more than aesthetics, but that rather aims to be a tool for problem-solving, solution-building, organized change, experimenting, innovating and evolving toward a better future.
