ABOUT US

Toronto Event Centre (TEC) is Toronto’s premier events and entertainment hub nestled between Liberty Village and Ontario Place.
The revitalization of the century-old former Horticulture Building at Exhibition Place into what is now the Muzik | Toronto Event Centre | Grand Bizarre | Toronto Sport Club—a world-class, state-of-the-art events and entertainment hub which spans over 120,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor space, including Canada’s largest poolside patio.
Situated next to the historic 11-acre Bandshell Park and steps from Ontario Place, the venue has become synonymous with turning moments into memories and attracting visitors from around the world.
Over a nearly two-decades-long history, the team has built a reputation as the go-to for music and corporate clients, having had the distinct privilege to host over 1,000 events and serve over 1,000,000 patrons, including notable organizations such as Capital One, Collision Conference, Deloitte, Hermès®, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment Foundation, Mercedes-Benz, MLS, NHL, Pan American Games, Porsche, Pride Toronto, Canadian Jewish Political Affairs Committee, PwC Canada, Samsung, Toronto Maple Leaf’s, Toronto Raptors, Toronto FC, and the University Health Network.
The venue has welcomed hundreds of celebrities, including David Beckham, Drake, Eva Longoria, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Richard Branson, Samuel L. Jackson, Shakira, Snoop Dogg, Tony Bennett, and “The Weeknd.” The true measure of success lies not in celebrity attendance, but in holding space where culture, community, and celebration intersect.
TEC has also cultivated long-standing relationships with a range of local and Ontario-based vendors including the Butcher Shoppe, Greenovation, Food Dudes, Hotel X Toronto, and Peter & Paul Events Catering.
Grand Bizarre Events (GB) represents a sophisticated reimagination of Toronto’s dining and nightlife scene, celebrating the timeless essence of what brings people together: indulgence in good company.
Co-located at the TEC, GB Events serves an inspiring array of diverse gastronomic delights, divine liquid poetry, and musical entertainment for the elegant lifestyle of the city. The immersive entertainment offering is best known for its high-energy environment, blending music, visual arts, and interactive experiences to create a festival-like ambiance year-round. Guests can soak up the sun in the ultimate urban oasis of the Beach Club or dance the night away under the signature 60-foot-high crystal dome.
The kitchen team is led by Executive Chef Robert Rainford, celebrity grill master and Food Network Canada’s first black chef and then-host of “License to Grill.”
