Social Distance-Friendly Venues

The MFG Complex Opens in Ontario to Host Socially Distanced Events

— July 22, 2021 — Art & Design
The MFG Complex showcases the ways in which COVID-19 altered our social activities. The new venue is the first of its kind in Ontario as it can host a large-scale outdoor live event with socially distanced regulations. Throughout the pandemic, many venues opted for drive-in alternatives to accommodate large crowds safely. The MGF Complex, however, overcomes the challenges to the vitality of Toronto's events and entertainment industry differently.

This month, the Together Apart live cirque show launched at the event space and runs until August 1st, 2021. The venue was rebranded from the Markham Fairgrounds. The venue space includes custom-built viewing pods that seat groups of up to six people, making it safe for folks to enjoy live entertainment.
