The 41st edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, which kicked off September 8 and runs through Sunday, once again inspired a slew of brand activations, lounges, and parties. While many industry executives and stars are used to the red carpets and glitzy undertones, this year’s festival saw planners and production staff show a nod of appreciation to Toronto's downtown area as its venue landscape. Premiere parties also took the opportunity to tie in aspects of certain films that were screened. Industry executives, influencers, media, and stars got to experience everything from pop-up sleep lounges and morning yoga to outdoor concerts and gifting lounges.
Here's a look at some highlight's from this year's festival events.
