Friends With You: Summer magic in Toronto

Toronto – LS:N Global has previously reported that the visual arts collective FriendsWithYou would bring some fun to Toronto this summer through the Wish Come True Festival.

The event, which took place in June, saw larger-than-life inflatable installations, a gallery show, several pop-up shops and community events across the city. Rainbow City brought gigantic totems, magical mushrooms and oversized bouncy houses to Queen’s Park. And Magic Pony opened their doors for a FriendsWithYou pop-up shop.

Last year we wrote about how FriendsWithYou wants to bring luck and energy and magic to all people in our Innovate section. For more on how designers are dreaming up playful landscapes, read our Playscapes trend report.
