When we run events, it’s very important to us that everyone feels welcome and included and… that means breaking the ice!
For this event, we’re starting out the evening with an interactive “human scavenger hunt” where you’ll be invited to mingle among the crowd to uncover certain characters we’ve planted… it could be a studio mogul, or a jazz singer, or a rising starlet. Discover their secret plans, meet other guests, and break the ice to kick off an evening of fun!

We’re excited to welcome back the Savoy Band, who are preparing new songs from some of your favourite old films to serenade us and help create that energetic ambience we enjoy so much.
And everyone will be invited to enter the campaign to be nominated for on Oscar! Walk the red carpet and experience a mini Oscar ceremony. We can’t wait to see who wins!
Dress up, take some photos with your favourite old film stars, and enjoy beverages from the La Plaza bar.
Wardrobe choices may be glamorous “awards show ready”, vintage inspired, or cosplay as a character from your favourite film. Creativity welcome! (Just please not jeans and t-shirts.)
You know we love to dress up and that should be fun, never stressful. If you already own some fancy clothing that you don’t often get a chance to wear, you can certainly wear that! (Vintage OR modern are fine!) But you can also find other creative ways to interpret the theme like dressing as a character from a film, a photographer, or director, or reporter. Creativity welcome! Just please no jeans and t-shirts.
Here’s a short video chatting about wardrobe:
Not sure if you’ll feel comfortable attending alone? We do our best to create an inclusive event and encourage people to mix and mingle. Our ice breaker activities also really help with that. So if you don’t have any friends who want to join you, that’s ok! Come on your own, we’d love to have you.

Dear vintage and style enthusiasts,
We’ve made the difficult decision to cancel the Easter Parade that we had been planning to revive post-pandemic. The reality is that we are just too busy to do it justice.
Thank you for your interest and understanding,
Mandi & Geoff
Stylish Sunday is a day for you to dress up, enjoy the summer weather, and show off your personal style!
We’ll be taking the ferry to Toronto’s Centre Island for a day of strolling and socializing. Lots of opportunities for taking great pictures in a fun park setting.
This event will take place in Toronto. Looking for the event in Niagara-on-the-Lake? Click HERE.
Whether you’d like to dress in vintage fashion, modern chic, everyone is welcome. Dress to impress!
We’ll gather near the fountain between 2:30pm and 3pm for group photographs and then we’ll proceed on an organized stroll. The fountain can be found just over the bridge after you pass the amusement park area.
You can sail to the Island at any time of day and enjoy the many activities available including bike rentals, the amusement park, etc. There are food venders on the island or you’re welcome to bring your own picnic.
The only cost associated with the event is the ticket for the ferry ride.
This promises to be a fun filled, relaxing, welcoming event for those who love to dress up and make friends. Don’t miss it! And be sure to RSVP so we have an idea of how many people will be joining us!
A. If there is light/intermittent rain on the day of the event, we will proceed. Bring an umbrella and/or raincoat! However, if looks to be really pouring or storming, we will cancel the event. Sign up for updates and follow us on social media (Facebook and Instagram especially) to stay informed.
A. While many people may choose to dress in a vintage style, everyone is welcome to interpret “style” in their own way.
This is a chance to express your personal style in whatever way says smart, dapper, or polished to you. Think “Sunday best” and however you interpret that is really up to you.
A. The event is just a gathering of like-minded people in a public space so it’s free and completely open. However, it would be helpful if you RSVP for a free virtual “ticket” to give us an idea of how many are attending, and that way we can send you updates about weather, etc..
The only cost is the ferry to Centre Island. Tickets are inexpensive ($8.75).
Please refer to toronto.ca for the latest official Toronto Island updates.

There is also a small amusement park, a petting farm, and a hedge maze.
Our official group meeting will happen between 2:30pm and 3pm near the central fountain. We’ll be taking group photos and then setting off on a group walk. Be prepared to be photographed!
