Window Wonderland 2025
Window Wonderland, Toronto’s award-winning winter art exhibition, returns for its sixth consecutive year, transforming the Junction into a magical outdoor gallery of immersive art experiences. From November 28, 2025 to February 1, 2026, 20 local storefront windows will be animated with augmented reality (AR) art, complemented by 10 large-scale murals on building walls throughout the neighbourhood.
This year’s theme, “Migration & Cultural Storytelling,” invites muralists, animators, and window partners to explore the richness of heritage, movement, and identity through compelling visual narratives. Each installation brings together three creative visions: the artist, the animator, and the business, for a powerful celebration of culture and place.
Created in partnership with internationally renowned AR app Artivive, Window Wonderland was the first of its kind in Toronto. Visitors can download the app, point their smartphone at participating windows and murals, and watch the artwork come to life, merging physical and digital storytelling in a way that delights and inspires.
Join us in the Junction this winter for an unforgettable celebration of art, culture, and community.
Window Wonderland is a Community Partner Project of the 2026 DesignTO Festival.
