Winter Solstice/Festivus Social

The Humanist Association of Toronto (HAT) warmly invites you to our annual Winter Solstice/Festivus Social.

  • When: Sunday, December 21, 2025, at 1 PM

  • Where: Eglinton and Allen Rd (near Eglinton West Subway Station) For the exact location, please register by emailing HatProgram@gmail.com.

  • What’s Included:  Lunch (pot luck, pizza and cake), tasty snacks, and a lively afternoon of Festivus fun

  • What to Expect:

  • Our World-Famous Festivus Pole — a unique centerpiece where you can add your own note or message to help us celebrate humanist values and community spirit

  • Good Food & Great Company — connect with like-minded folks, share stories, and enjoy a relaxed, festive atmosphere

  • Gift Exchange – Secret "Frank Constanza" gift exchange – feel free to bring a wrapped gift of something around the home (books, game/puzzles, knick knacks or whatever you would like to get rid of) for a fun secret gift exchange

  • Talent Show – Do you have a special talent (music, juggling, stand-up comedy etc.) that you would like to share with a welcoming crowd?

It's a great opportunity to reconnect, meet new friends, and share the joy of being part of a vibrant and inclusive community.

We would greatly appreciate volunteers to attend early for set-up and/or after 5 p.m. for clean up.  Pizza and cake will be supplied but please feel free to bring a potluck item for sharing.   Note, for liability reasons and since this is a daytime event, this will be an alcohol-free event.
