The imagineNATIVE Film + Media Arts Festival is an international festival in Toronto that celebrates the latest works by Indigenous peoples on the forefront of innovation in film, video, radio, and new media. Each fall, the festival presents a selection of the most compelling and distinctive Indigenous works from around the globe. The festival's screenings, parties, panel discussions, and cultural events attract and connect filmmakers, media artists, programmers, buyers, and industry professionals. The works accepted reflect the diversity of the world's Indigenous nations and illustrate the vitality and excellence of our art and culture in contemporary media.

NXNE was established in 1995 in partnership with leading members of the Canadian music and media industries and the founders of Austin, Texas’ SXSW. Today, NXNE is Canada’s most important ‘DISCOVERY’ festival for emerging new music from across Canada and around the world.

From June 11 – 15, 2025, NXNE returns for its 30th year, and will again take over 20+ of Toronto’s best live music venues showcasing 250+ bands in tight 40-minute sets for the ultimate club hopping experience. Among those artists performing are are Acid Sponge Punch, Anna Sofia, Avalon Stone, Bleeker, JULES IS DEAD, King Cruff, Mars Aspen, Martin Kerr, Nylo Carter, Parachute Thieves, Ruby Waters, and Talking Violet.

NXNE makes great music accessible and inclusive to all, in part, by removing the financial barriers.
Artists pay nothing to apply, performers are paid and admission to club shows in 2024 is with a low-cost Full Festival Pass or Single Admission Ticket.

The Toronto Fringe is part of the “Fringe movement” – a worldwide network of indie theatre festivals. As the name suggests, the movement is about celebrating under-represented voices and those on the margins of the performing arts world. It’s a festival where anyone can put on any show, without having to pass through a jury – where theatre students can mount their first production outside of school, where emerging artists can get their big break, and where established artists can test out new work. It’s a festival where audiences come for the adventure and the community as much as for the plays themselves.

THE 2024 TORONTO FRINGE FESTIVAL WILL TAKE PLACE JULY 3-14, 2024.
