The Health & Wellness Zone

A place to be still, wind down, and connect.
Take a class, get a massage, breathe, stretch, and grow, all within earshot of the music.

Apply to join the Zone See what’s inside

Beyond the concert field and onto the grass.

Past the stages, the sound softens. Mats are rolled out, a singing bowl hums, and somebody is laughing so hard they can’t hold their pose.

The Health & Wellness Zone is where the weekend slows down. Saturday and Sunday mornings start here with guided workshops and classes led by practitioners from across Ontario. Through the rest of the weekend, the Zone stays open for a sauna, a cold plunge, a massage, or simply a quiet place to sit down with the people you came with.

No experience needed. Come as you are. This is a place to discover, connect and experience.

Meet the people behind the practice

The Zone’s vendors and facilitators are independent practitioners and makers. Stop and connect and learn. Ask how a product is made, what a session feels like, or how someone found their craft.

For a lot of our guests, this is a first introduction to a practice, and the beginning of a relationship that carries on well past the weekend.

  • Massage
  • Energy work
  • Holistic skincare
  • Health food
  • Workshops & classes

Offer a class. Share your craft.

We’re welcoming workshop facilitators and holistic vendors to the Health & Wellness Zone. If your work helps people slow down, feel better, or connect, we’d love to hear from you.
