"We've created a two-day outdoor multi-stage celebration of culture, and we're working this year alongside local arts communities to create a distinct presence and shared voice."

New this year, Bud Light Digital Dreams has developed several collaborations with local and international brands to further promote a shared cultural experience. An exclusive line of apparel for the festival has been created with local Toronto company Peace Collective, including a unisex hoodie, a unisex tank top, and two unisex t-shirts. Many more collaborations will be announced as the festival date approaches. Official festival apparel can be purchased at the Bud Light Digital Dreams Merch Store. The festival has also created a partnership with local street photographers to interact with the Toronto community and generate buzz about the upcoming festival.

Additional photography campaigns to roll out will feature Jazz (@jazzy.vibes) and Maria Jose Govea (@thesupermaniak).

This year, Bud Light Digital Dreams will be supporting MusiCounts, a charity dedicated to keeping music alive in schools and communities across Canada. MusiCounts' mission is to ensure that children in Canada, regardless of socio-economic circumstances or cultural background, have access to a music program through their school or community. "We are so privileged to have such a dedicated and passionate fan base for our festival," says Kyle Standaert, Festival Marketing Manager, Live Nation Canada. "Fans can feel good that not only are they buying into a shared experience, but that their ticket is also going towards helping create music in schools across Canada. MusiCounts is a natural fit for our festival, as we both share in the belief that music is an important element of culture and experience." For every Bud Light Digital Dreams ticket bought, $1 is donated to the charity.
