Yonge-Dundas Square, Public square at Yonge and Dundas Streets in Downtown Toronto, Canada.
Yonge-Dundas Square is a public plaza at the corner of Yonge and Dundas Streets in downtown Toronto featuring multiple large digital displays and LED screens integrated throughout the space. A fountain with hundreds of ground nozzles shoots water in changing patterns, serving as the centerpiece that draws people to the open area.
Architects Brown and Storey designed the square in 1997 as part of a major revitalization project for this intersection, with the official opening taking place in 2002. The redesign transformed a heavily trafficked street corner into a modern public gathering space for the downtown area.
The square serves as Toronto's main outdoor location for free concerts, film screenings, and seasonal celebrations that draw crowds year-round. People gather here to experience music, art, and community events without needing a ticket.
The square connects directly to Dundas subway station and links to the Toronto Eaton Centre through the underground PATH network. These connections make it easy to reach the space by public transit and provide shelter options during bad weather.
More than 100,000 pedestrians cross this intersection each day using Canada's first pedestrian scramble crossing system. This setup allows people to walk in all directions at once rather than waiting for separate crossing intervals.
