Window Wonderland 2026
Window Wonderland Transforms The Junction into a FREE Outdoor AR Art Gallery
From November 27, 2026 to January 31, 2027, discover Toronto’s award-winning winter exhibition featuring original augmented reality public art in storefront windows throughout the Junction.
Window Wonderland returns to the Junction for its 7th annual season, bringing artist-led augmented reality installations back to the neighbourhood for another winter of creativity, discovery, and community connection.
Presented in partnership with Artivive, this free, self-guided outdoor exhibition transforms participating storefronts into immersive public art experiences that can be explored day or night. Each installation combines visual art and animation to create a unique encounter with augmented reality in the public realm.
Building on the momentum of the 2025–26 season, which welcomed approximately 50,000 visitors, generated 61 million media impressions, and earned 96% public support for the exhibition to return, Window Wonderland 2026–27 will continue to position the Junction as a leading destination for innovative winter culture in Toronto.
This year’s theme, Movement + Glimmers, invites artists to reflect on motion, hope, connection, and fleeting moments of light through original mural and animation concepts created specifically for participating Junction storefronts. The exhibition is free, family-friendly, and designed to animate the streetscape while encouraging visitors to shop local and explore the neighbourhood throughout the winter season.
In addition to the seasonal exhibition, visitors can experience augmented-reality wall murals year-round in the Junction. These permanent public artworks extend the Window Wonderland experience beyond winter and help make the neighbourhood a destination for art, innovation, and discovery in every season.
We are also pleased to welcome Bergmanis Preyra as our first confirmed sponsor for Window Wonderland 2026–27. Learn more about the firm at bplawyers.ca.
