About Us
Toronto Music, Arts and Nature Alliance (TMANA) is a not-for-profit group devoted to animating Toronto parks and spaces with vibrant music events. TMANA are lifelong fans of music and the great outdoors, with a specific interest in electronic music. We fuse these passions together to bring Toronto a more socially conscious and community-focused electronic music scene. TMANA works together with cultural grant organizations, not-for-profits and the City of Toronto to make engagement and presentation offerings to dynamic events.

Pillars of Commitment
Art
We strive to grow the bond between local artists and the public. TMANA drives cultural dollars toward onsite art installations and artist collaborations for the events it serves.
Art is the perfect creative companion to music and the outdoors. TMANA drives all-important cultural dollars to artists within the visual, light and installation rhelms.
Fashion
TMANA collaborates with several fashion vendors. TMANA encourages event organizers to make space for clothing vendors in their productions. These vendors represent upcycled fashion ethics and international beauty. They complement a music and art event perfectly.
Food
We work with socially conscious food creators. Supporting a variety of local vendors from various cultural diasporas and food activism groups celebrates the thought and intention behind how ethical food policies matter.
Music
DJ-ing is an expression of musical collage: part librarian, part rock-star, part friend-next-door. TMANAs booking council encourages sponsees never to book the same artist twice a season. TMANA also enables event organizers to continually search for unique and diverse musical voices to promote a democratic, progressive and merit-based forum of DJ appreciation special to Toronto.
Ecology Commitment
TMANA follows the biggest and best of all campsite rules - Leave it better than you found it. TMANA are stewards of ecology in the parks it serves.
Our Promise Cherry Beach Festival volunteers clean far beyond their perimeters each week. They have even protected the local trees from the ravages of hungry beavers.
Ask us how to be included in Ecology Programs at Promise Cherry Beach and other outdoor music events.
Volunteerism and Access Commitment
By backing Promise Cherry Beach, TMANA aims to make the electronic music event landscape more accessible. We think everyone should be able to enjoy our events, and we are dedicated to making that happen.
If Promise Cherry Beach is out of your price range, you can try volunteer contribution instead. This way, you can come to the event and get behind the scenes!
