The Story of PHANTOM
PHANTOM began as a vision by Christina Barron back in 2017 - a mission to create inclusive, accessible events that encompass the raw, old-school energy of Toronto’s late-90s rave scene: a non-judgmental space with guaranteed great music + connections.
From pop-up parties to full-on campouts, the movement grew.
Fast forward to 2023, and PHANTOMFEST was born - a weekend-long camping festival brought to life by a collective of passionate local artists and creatives. The DJs, sound systems, visual artists and workshop facilitators were all top-notch. The music and vibes were unsurpassed.
In 2023, PHANTOMFEST was born: a weekend-long, grassroots camping festival powered by artists, DJs, and dreamers. There was no profit — just a lot of sweat, late nights, and magic.
Now, in our 3rd year, we’ve officially become a women-led non-profit organization — allowing us to go bigger, louder, and more accessible than ever.
