Since 1991, the all-volunteer concert has brought together some of Toronto’s most celebrated artists to entertain the community and has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars and truckloads of food for children and families in need. The event raises money through ticket sales, donations and the generous support of its sponsors. Local merchants assist by selling the tickets, donating goods and services, and hosting special events.

This year’s 18th annual edition will be held at St. Barnabas Anglican Church, on the south side of Danforth Avenue at Hampton Avenue (between Broadview and Chester subway stops), on Saturday, Dec. 12 and the format will feature two shows, at 2 and 4:30 p.m.
