a new kind of third space in toronto.
featured in
how this works
find a gathering, show up, and make toronto feel a little more like home.
we host recurring events in low-traffic spaces where you can enjoy spending time with others.
- ✦ low cost to free: making it so hanging out doesn't stretch your budget.
- ✦ light structure for hosts: guidance that helps you feel like "you've got this".
- ✦ a place to be yourself: no networking, please! just bring the "5-9" you :)
- ✦ a respectful relationship with spaces: we gather responsibly and encourage support for local shops nearby.
for guests (what you can expect)
you'll probably like happy town if you…
- want new friends but hate “networking energy”
- like long walks and wandering conversations
- miss the feeling of a friendly regular spot
- enjoy gentle structure: prompts, activities, “you can join anytime” vibes
what you won't have to do
- pitch yourself
- be extroverted on command
- commit to a whole new identity
host with us.
let's create a third space together :)
for those who like to create spaces where others feel at home.
we're especially into hosts who love:
- calm facilitation
- playful prompts
- hobby tables (crafts, writing, sketching, reading hours, language corners, etc.)
- small rituals that make strangers feel safe together
