TORONTO TAIKO FESTIVAL 2026

August 7-9, 2026 at Randolph College for the Performing Arts (736 Bathurst St)

Toronto Taiko Festival is an intimate 3-day gathering with curated programs that share the joy and power of taiko for community building and self-empowerment at all levels of experience. ​​

This year’s theme is Finding Our Sound

People who play taiko have different histories, experiences, identities, and commitments. Yet, the resonance of the drums builds bridges for connection. Finding Our Sound is about the music we can make when we honour our own stories and let those of others inspire us to turn towards each other. This year’s festival amplifies taiko as not only a way to drum, but also a way to listen, share, and build more resilient and interconnected communities. 

Featuring public workshops, learning opportunities, and a vibrant festival concert, TTF offers something for everyone interested in coming to the drum, from beginners to seasoned drummers. ​​
