About Event

We Create Our Futures isn’t your typical climate event—it’s a living experiment in what’s possible. An immersive celebration of climate solutions through art, fashion, music, and community innovation.

Co-Created by the community for the community & Mother Earth.

Part Solarpunk runway, part open-mic uprising, part joyful rebellion, this evening blends culture, community, and imagination to ask: What if we actually lived in the world we’re fighting for?

From futuristic fashion to recycled art, interactive innovation labs to a dance floor powered by hope, this is where pop-tech meets grassroots magic.

Come gather with fellow dreamers, designers, and doers as we reimagine climate action—not as sacrifice, but as celebration. It's time to model the future like we mean it.

This is the official opening evening celebration for the first Toronto Climate Week!

What to expect:

  • Futures Fair [Sustainable Market]

  • 4:30pm - 5:30pm Analog Futures Lab by The Climate verse

  • Voices For the Earth [Open Mic] 5:30-6:30 (First come first serve)

  • Opening Prayer [The Ancient Youth]

  • Solarpunk Fashion Show [5 designers]

Dress Code: Earth Wear

Dress like you're walking into the beautiful future where nature and people thrive together.

Think recycled or thrifted treasures, clothes you’ve customized yourself, pieces that show off your roots or heritage, and splashes of planty, earthy colors. Add some funky accessories, flowers, or handmade touches—anything that feels creative, hopeful, and uniquely you.


What is solarpunk?
"Solarpunk" is a literary, artistic and social movement close to the hope punk movement, that envisions and works toward actualizing a sustainable future interconnected with nature and community.

The "solar" represents solar energy as a renewable energy source and an optimistic vision of the future that rejects climate doomerism, while the "punk" refers to do it yourself and the countercultural, post-capitalist, and re-indigenizing aspects of creating such a future.
