As winter’s chill lingers over Toronto, a vibrant pulse begins to stir beneath the city’s skyline. This February 14–15, 2026, Nathan Phillips Square will transform into a dazzling fusion of tradition and technology for the 2nd Toronto Spring Festival (TSF) Fireworks Celebration. Imagine a 48-hour sensory feast where ancient customs meet futuristic marvels, where the glow of lanterns mingles with neon lights, and where every moment invites you to celebrate the Year of the Horse in a way you’ve never experienced before.
Two Days, Two Unforgettable Vibes
The festival unfolds over two magical days, each with its own unique spirit and charm.
February 14: Romantic Date · Chinese Elegance
Celebrate Valentine’s Day wrapped in the delicate beauty of "Guochao" — a China-chic style that blends modern fashion with traditional motifs. The air will be filled with the scent of blossoms as the "Flower Goddess" graces the stage, and romantic activities invite couples to share moments steeped in cultural elegance. Whether you’re strolling hand-in-hand or simply soaking in the atmosphere, this day promises a poetic dance between love and heritage.
February 15: Grand Celebration · Family Reunion
The following day is perfect for families and friends gathering during the Family Day long weekend. The square will buzz with family-friendly stalls offering delicious treats, crafts, and games. As night falls, the grand fireworks finale at 9:00 PM will light up the sky, a spectacular crescendo that brings everyone together in awe and joy.

Why This Year is "Hardcore"
This year’s festival pushes the boundaries of celebration with a cyberpunk twist that electrifies every corner of the square.
Cyberpunk Robots: Witness the Canadian debut of Unitree humanoid robots and robotic dogs performing synchronized dances. Their fluid, futuristic movements blend seamlessly with the festival’s traditional elements, creating a mesmerizing spectacle that feels like a glimpse into tomorrow.
Couture on Ice: Champion skaters will glide gracefully across the ice rink, adorned in high-fashion outfits designed by celebrity designer Adam X. The fusion of athleticism and couture adds a layer of glamour and artistry that captivates all ages.
