Now in its 19th year, funds raised through gate donations allows Epilepsy Toronto to provide “the much-needed support to the 1-in-100 people in Toronto living with epilepsy through programs for children, youth and adults, families, employment, education, community outreach and more.”

During this year’s festival, guests can enjoy exciting performances from over a hundred comedians, escape-artists, sword-swallowers, musicians, magicians, fire jugglers, acrobats, clowns, and daredevils.

And with the festival just over three weeks away, event organizers have announced this year’s performer lineup, which features a number of new and returning acts.
