Traditionally, the event has incorporated a parade, ending with a fire-lighting finale and performance at Alexandra Park. But due to the park's revitalization work and ongoing construction in Kensington Market, the event will include blocked off-streets and enclosures that will allow for a stationary celebration, said Gabriella Caruso, artistic director of Red Pepper Spectacle Arts and organizer of the festival.

The countdown included art shows, performances and Indigenous treaty education events that began in November, according to Dominique Russell, co-chair of the land trust. "We're kind of bringing attention to the festival, to the solstice as the culmination, but also that the market is diverse in part in its people and in its businesses. And so that's what the Countdown to Solstice festival is celebrating," she said.
