Each summer, the Toronto Outdoor Picture Show (TOPS) presents an a open-air festival program at four home parks across Toronto: Fort York, Christie Pits, Corktown Common, and Bell Manor Park. Corktown Common showings start on the first Thursday in July.
Join your neighbours at the park and enjoy Eats and Treats at 7pm, with the moving starting at sundown, ±9pm. Nestled between the Distillery and the Don, you get an unbeatable view of Toronto’s skyline. Bring a picnic blanket, folding chair, meditation cushion.... whatever you need to be comfortable hanging out with hundreds of neighbours on a big green lawn.
When young Marty McFly (Canada’s own Michael J. Fox), accidentally journeys back thirty years into the past in a tricked-out Delorean invented by eccentric “Doc” Brown (Christopher Lloyd), figuring out how to travel “back” to 1985 is only the start of his problems. He also needs to make sure his parents fall in love before he leaves, racing against the clock to ensure his very existence in the future. Director Robert Zemeckis' sci-fi comedy classic Back to the Future proves that timing really is everything, and explores the enduring theme of better understanding the present by unpacking our pasts. A classic “what if?” story with a whip-smart screenplay and special effects that still shine decades later, Back to the Future has earned its place in the canon of popular cinema..."
Screenings are open to anyone who would like to attend, with no barriers to entry. TOPS is always free to all, and charitable donations make this possible.
