Toronto’s Big Friendsgiving Feast: A Chance to Connect Under the Overpass

Are you a yoga teacher navigating the big city, or a digital nomad looking to meet fellow expats? Whether you're new to Toronto or have been here for a while, you won’t want to miss the city’s latest community event: a giant Friendsgiving feast at The Bentway. On October 8, up to 450 people can gather for a free, family-style meal, complete with warm, fluffy rolls from King’s Hawaiian.

Friendsgiving, a tradition that originated online in 2007, is all about bringing together chosen families, transplants, and friends for a meal of comfort food. The Bentway’s event is a perfect opportunity to break bread with strangers and locals alike, all while enjoying the unique atmosphere of an outdoor meal under the Gardiner Expressway overpass.

Reserve your spot early as these events always attract a crowd, and don’t let the unpredictable Toronto weather ruin your plans. The meal will be rain or shine, so you can focus on connecting and enjoying the experience. Whether you're fueling up for your next yoga class or simply looking for a chance to socialize, this event is a must-attend for anyone in the city.
