CLOSING TIME: Maple Leaf Gardens

WHEN ROCK RULED THE GARDENS

Toronto is incredible at creating landmark music venues—and even better at shutting them down.

The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Frank Sinatra were just a few of the icons who brought generations of music fans to Maple Leaf Gardens. This arena-sized concert celebrates the artists, anthems and unforgettable nights that made the Gardens part of Toronto’s musical memory.

Closing Time is a two-part musical docu-concert, inspired by Leonard Cohen’s “Closing Time”, tracing the shutdown notices across the venues that define our city.
