ISKCON Toronto will once again be holding Toronto’s biggest annual kirtan to commence its Ratha Yatra festivities. Being held at the ISKCON Toronto temple on Friday, July 15th, kirtan leaders from around the world will be descending upon the city to chant for 12 continuous hours. As part of ISKCON Toronto’s 50th annual Ratha Yatra festival celebrations, this year’s 12-Hour Kirtan will be bigger than ever and is an event that is not to be missed. 

In 2020 and 2021, the Toronto kirtan festival was held virtually with tens of thousands of views and shares. Now, the much-awaited festivities will be back in person.

Kirtan leaders include Bhakti Anugraha Janardana Swami, Candramauli Swami, Madhava Das, Amala Kirtan Das, Gaura Mani Dasi, Kirtan Premi Das, and many more who will be staying throughout the weekend for the Ratha Yatra celebrations. 

This is your opportunity to immerse yourselves in 12 amazing hours of the transcendental vibrations of the maha-mantra accompanied by singing, dancing, drumming, and clapping. Join in and soak Lord Chaitanya’s mercy by chanting the holy name all day long! 

A special video presentation created and produced by the 12 Hour Kirtan team is a must-watch and highlights what everyone is waiting for:
