Halloween always has some special hauntings! But it really comes alive in the Summer as it is the perfect venue for music and even comedy.

This Summer Mondays are reserved for Soul Night with Sean Jones and the Righteous Echo, Tuesdays sees Classical music featured with the Toronto Concert Orchestra, and Wednesdays some great local comics. There’s a super bar on -site and nothing beats live outdoor entertainment on a warm Summer night under the stars.
