The Story

A community market for the summer the world comes to Toronto.

One Love is an outdoor market run out of Toronto. Food, art, live music, and the people who make them. We've been doing this for three years and our home is here in CityPlace and Fort York.

This summer we're in CityPlacefor 13 dates. The City of Toronto's official pedestrian fan corridor for the tournament runs from Union Station straight to BMO Field, and we sit right on it. Every fan walking to a match and home from one walks through the neighbourhood.

We're the only independent community market on the route, and we're built for everyone. Every nation, every background, every family that calls Canada home, and every fan who's coming to visit it for the summer. The unofficial fan zone on the official route.

“The tournament comes once. The market stays forever. One Love is not a banner opportunity. It is a belonging opportunity.”

Produced by Caron Morgan · Birdy's Daughter Inc., in collaboration with the CityPlace and Fort York BIA.

Picture It

A summer Saturday in CityPlace.

White tents along the path. Strollers, dogs on leashes, kids with face paint. Food coming off a dozen grills, iced coffees in everyone's hands, the CN Tower in the background. Thirteen of these between June and August.

The Location

CityPlace, halfway down the fan corridor.

The City of Toronto's official pedestrian route runs from Union Station to BMO Field. CityPlace sits roughly at the halfway mark, and we set up in Canoe Landing Park. Fans pass us walking to the game and again on the way home.

A note to vendors, from Caron

To every vendor who showed up for us. Thank you.

You brought the food. You brought the craft. You brought the stories. Thirteen weekends, twenty-five to thirty of you every time, holding down a corner of CityPlace and making it feel like the whole world showed up. That is the whole thing.

Every sold-out Saturday. Every customer who came back the following week. Every hug and every “see you next time.” That's what the market is. That's what stays.

Applications for Summer 2027 will open early in the new year. Join the newsletter and I'll tell you the day it opens.

The Team

The people behind it.

Executive Producer & Curator

Caron Morgan

Founder, Birdy's Daughter Coffee

Sixteen years in CityPlace and currently on her condo board. Spent two decades on Bay Street at National Bank Financial, Scotiabank, and Dundee Wealth before starting Birdy's Daughter, a Jamaica Blue Mountain coffee company that has done experiences for Nike, Intuit, and Pinterest.

One Love is what she's building now. She thinks people do better when they're seen, heard, and brought together, and the market is her version of that idea.

“She's not visiting the neighbourhood. She lives here.”

Creative Director

Benny Yip

Ultra Creative

15+ years of brand and visual work for L Tower, Waterworks Food Hall, Starbucks Asia Pacific, Rogers, Tennis Canada, and Sporting Life. Recognized by Communication Arts, Applied Arts, and Design Edge Canada.

Spent a decade at L.A. Inc. shaping the visual identity of CityPlace itself, including Panorama, Parade, Spectra, Quartz, and The LakeFront. So a lot of how this neighbourhood looks is partly his fault.

Runs creative direction for One Love: brand, signage, the photo booth, and the entrance arch.

Music & Cultural Programming

Drom Artist Collective

City of Toronto Team of the Season 2026

Rashid Mohiddin, co-lead. Went to the 2010 tournament in Cape Town with UNA-Canada's Sport-in-a-Box program. He's seen what a tournament summer feels like up close, and that's the lens we program through.

Rudy Ray Kwaku, co-lead. Ghanaian-Canadian trumpeter and the person behind Rudy Ray & Co. and The Rudy Ray Show. A decade of music work centred on African and diasporic artists.

They run music and cultural programming across all 13 dates.

Neighbourhood Partner

CityPlace and Fort York BIA

The official BIA for CityPlace and Fort York, representing the restaurants, shops, and independent businesses that share this stretch of the city. The people who actually keep the neighbourhood running.

Their team brought the on-the-ground knowledge of the corridor, the local vendors, and the neighbourhood that makes the season possible. The market is on their patch, with their support.
