BRIGHTSIDE: Solarpunk Solstice
A gardener is a futurist because they believe in the potential of a seed.
Welcome to a future where we have everything we need.
For the first time ever, Brightside is leaving the greenhouse for a day of nature magic, collective dreaming, and joyful movement in the sunshine.
Solarpunk Solstice is a portal to a future village where we are grounded, connected, and in harmony with nature.
We’ll spend the day rewilding - exploring raving trails, meeting new friends, dancing to lush global rhythms (featuring a special guest DJ), making nature-based art, and dreaming into the futures we want to grow together.
In collaboration with Evergreen Brickworks in their newest green space - a literal playground tucked beside ravine trails and a turtle pond.
Full schedule to come
But what we can tell you for now is that this is an alcohol-free, all ages, intergenerational event. Come with your kids, your parents, or your grandparents. Come with friends. Come on your own and leave with new friends. Come if you love dancing, come if you don't usually dance, come if you need to move. Come if you're curious about what happens when strangers share a dancefloor surrounded by living things.

Accessibility Notes
Brightside is a step-free event, with lots of seating and access to indoor accessible washrooms. The experience takes place outdoors on uneven terrain covered with wood chips, which may present challenges for some mobility devices. If you have specific accessibility questions or needs, we encourage you to reach out in advance. A more comprehensive venue guide will be provided closer to the experience.
