a new kind of third space in toronto.

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
