Experience a captivating space in the heart of Kensington Market. Welcome to the Round Venue – the biggest licensed venue in the Kensington area! Immerse yourself in this venue, which is fully equipped with a licensed bar, a commercial kitchen, and a performance stage. Discover the dynamic style of the multidisciplinary event space and their fresh sounds.
Last year in September the venue opened its doors to the public. The venue offers a great variety of events like electronic music or dancing, cabaret, live bands or art nights. What’s special is that you will find many local artists among them. The owners strive to make it a hub for arts and culture in Toronto.
The Round Venue can be booked for private events like corporate events or birthdays. Either you can book the whole venue or ask for a separated area you receive for your guests. Since the venue can host up to 200 people it is great for bigger events.
The Round Venue offer a great menu serving appetizers and main dishes made out of fresh and local ingredients. For the near future, the owners plan to have a general menu because so far it is just offered when an event takes place.
If you love a great choice of drinks you will be statisfed with the Round Venue’s offerings. They offer a great variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks! They have plenty of domestic and imported beers, the variety goes on to vines, scotches and cognac.
On September 19th the Round venue’s first birthday with an amazing dance party is going to take place. So take the chance to check out the venue. Visit CityEvents Facebook fanpage because we are giving away two tickets for the night.

In-N-Out Took Over Toronto at Ganzi: CityEvents was Thrilled to be Hired by In-N-Out Burger as their Local Event Planner

First and foremost, thank you to everyone who came out to the In-N-Out Burger Pop-up at Ganzi Osteria. It was a great success and we are honored to have been a part of such an exciting event. Thank you to the entire team at In-N-Out, the fabulous crew at Ganzi Osteria and the CityEvents staff for making it a big hit.
Here at CityEvents, we’re huge fans of In-N-Out Burger and having an opportunity to bring the famous Double Double® to Toronto, if only for a bit, was a blast for us. I can see why In-N-Out Burger is so popular, not only are the burgers awesome but the staff that travelled to Toronto were friendly ambassadors. They worked well with the onsite team and you could see they wanted to ensure the best product possible was served to Torontonians. I could tell they were impressed with the excitement in Toronto around their Pop-up.
Over the course of the day, we had hundreds, upon hundreds of loyal fans waiting in line, eager to get a taste of In-N-Out. We were so excited to see that In-N-Out’s earliest fan, actually arrived at 6:30 A.M (now that’s a true fan).
The excitement didn’t end with just the fans, but the media showed up, from around the city to get a shot of the event. Not only did In-N-Out burger cause a social media frenzy here in Toronto, they were trending on Twitter. It’s safe to say, In-N-Out Burger was the talk of the town for a few days and I’m sure Toronto would welcome them back.
For some, this was an opportunity to re-experience a restaurant they’ve loved for years, or for others, it was a chance to taste a bit of the magic that has made In-N-Out a household name. All in all, Toronto definitely showed that we love In-N-Out, just as much as we love Tim Hortons.
Overall it was an exciting day and during all of the excitement inside while people tasted the famous In and Out Burger Deb Lewis from CityEvents and Dan from Ganzi were speaking to the media about this one day Pop Up.
A few media mentions include: This interview with SunTV and article in National Post .
Stay tuned for more photos of the event next week in our newsletter.
