There’s going to be a massive Taylor Swift tailgate party in Toronto

When Taylor Swift comes to Toronto, there’s going to be a huge tailgate party in town…and you can go even if you couldn’t actually get tickets to the concert.

Toronto’s Version: Taylgate ’24 is going to be a giant pre-concert event held in a 150,000-square-foot indoor space that’s just steps from the Rogers Centre where shows are taking place.

At the event, there will be a complimentary makeup station, a big bracelet making and exchange area, merch, cute stations for photo ops with friends and parent/guardian waiting lounges. The experience will also involve live DJ sets, sing-along spaces and interactive dances.

There will also be food available to purchase and while the event is all-ages, there will be a licensed bar for attendees over the age of 19. Of course, you’re welcome to wear an outfit or costume inspired by the show.

If you’re a social media influencer, you can actually apply to be an ambassador for Toronto’s Version: Taylgate ’24 and create high-quality content to promote the tailgate event.

The event will take place at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre at the North Building, accessible via a Front Street entrance. The venue is fully accessible and is a five-minute walk from the Rogers Centre, a seven-minute walk from Union Station, and close to streetcar stops.

Tickets are $55 and are available online. Toronto’s Version: Taylgate ’24 takes place from November 14 to 16 and November 21 to 23, with hours from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m. every day.
