The Winter Solstice is in danger!
A 24-hour Shopathon is turning night into day, and the longest night of the year is running out of darkness. Join a rag-tag team of Toronto raccoons on an outdoor holiday musical adventure to turn off the lights, save the Solstice, and get some much-needed winter rest.
Set along the Junction’s West Toronto Railpath, A Raccoon Solstice is a family-friendly winter spectacle filled with original songs and a travelling live band. Despite their differences, our unlikely heroes must come together (along with your help!) to outsmart the Shopathoners and restore peace, rest, and balance just in time for Solstice night.
Produced alongside Theatre Direct, A Raccoon Solstice marks the exciting return of a beloved Toronto tradition of outdoor winter theatre, bringing families together to bundle up, follow the story through an iconic city landscape, and experience real winter magic.
