4th Annual Grace 2 Concert Celebrating The Tragically Hip Returns to The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern

Over $54,000 Raised to Date for The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund

Toronto, ON – On October 17th and 18th, Grace 2, Canada’s acclaimed tribute to The Tragically Hip, returns to the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern for its 4th annual fundraising concert in support of The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund.

Held every year around the anniversary of Gord Downie’s passing, this event takes place during Secret Path Week — a national movement commemorating the legacies of Gord Downie and Chanie Wenjack and their calls to action for reconciliation in Canada.

To date, this annual tribute has raised over $54,000 for the Downie Wenjack Fund, with 100% of proceeds going to support educational and community initiatives that promote reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.

The Friday, October 17th show is SOLD OUT, but limited tickets remain for Saturday, October 18th. Fans will experience a high-energy, emotional, and unforgettable night of music as Grace 2 performs the beloved hits, deep cuts, and poetic power of The Tragically Hip.

“This isn’t just a show — it’s a chance to reflect, to connect, and to give back,” says the band. “We’re honoured to continue this tradition each year in Gord’s memory and to support the important work of the Downie Wenjack Fund.”

With support from Q107, 102.1 The Edge, and The Legendary Horseshoe Tavern, this event has become a cornerstone of Secret Path Week in Toronto, uniting fans in a shared celebration of music, legacy, and reconciliation.
