a new kind of third space movement in toronto.

happy town banner

how this works

find a gathering, show up, and let toronto feel a little more like home.

we host recurring events in low-traffic spaces where you can simply enjoy spending time with others.

  • low cost to free: accessible by default
  • 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.

build the third space you wish existed.

if you’ve ever thought “i could run something simple and sweet that helps people connect”—we want you.

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
