About David Pecaut Square

David Pecaut Square is a dynamic outdoor public plaza located at 215 King St W in Toronto, where the city hosts a range of free and paid programming, from the Luminato Festival to overflow coverage for major events. Formerly known as Metro Square, it was renamed in 2011 to honor David Pecaut, a key figure in Toronto’s cultural scene. The square features a lawn, a reflecting pool, and the Eternal Flame of Hope, with direct PATH access via Metro Hall for easy indoor connections. There is no fixed seating capacity because it’s an open space that adapts to each event’s setup, making it a flexible choice for performers and organizers. Whether you’re planning a festival, concert, or community gathering, we’ve got you covered with practical details and trusted venue info.

Transit-friendly and centrally located, David Pecaut Square offers convenient TTC and streetcar access, with nearby paid parking options such as the Green P Carpark on John Street. When staying in the city, you’ll find several hotels within walking distance to accommodate attendees, including One King West, Hilton Toronto, Radisson Blu Toronto Downtown, and InterContinental Toronto Centre.
