On Friday, May 29, 2026, Nathan Phillips Square will host Toronto Newcomer Day, a free annual event organized by the City of Toronto. It is a great opportunity for newcomers to learn about services, ask questions, and connect with organizations that support settlement and community life in Toronto.

Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy a lively atmosphere with more than 100 information booths, cultural performances, activities for all ages, a food fair, and a marketplace. It is a chance not only to gather useful information, but also to connect with others, discover new opportunities, and celebrate the diversity that makes Toronto such a vibrant city.

One of the highlights of this year’s event is the range of registered activities. These include a HistoricTO Guided Neighbourhood Tour, where participants can learn about the history of the area around City Hall; an interactive Chinatown Community Lion Dance session at the City Hall Toronto Public Library branch; Indigenous Teachings in the Spirit Garden’s Teaching Lodge; and a guided tour of Toronto City Hall. Some registered activities have limited space, so it is a good idea to check availability in advance.

Toronto Newcomer Day also features drop-in activities, such as getting a free library card, soccer skills sessions and a friendly soccer match, art installations, alongside live music and performances throughout the day. 

Come visit our booth at Toronto Newcomer Day and say hello to our team. We will be there to meet you, answer your questions, and share helpful information about our services and upcoming programs. We would be delighted to connect with you and celebrate this day together.
