New places to gather, celebrate, and make memories.
Soluna is an experiential hospitality brand inspired by cultures, flavours, music, and storytelling from around the world. This summer, we’re bringing two original concepts to the Canadian National Exhibition, creating new places to gather, celebrate, and make memories inside the Better Living Centre.
The Experiences
Two ways to spend your summer nights
Open-air patio
Layla's Garden
A vibrant open-air patio where guests can gather over great food, refreshing drinks, live music, and the energy of the EX. Designed as a place to relax, connect, and enjoy summer in the heart of the Better Living Centre.
An intimate late-night speakeasy inspired by the legendary tale of Layla and Majnun. Hidden beyond the garden, Majnoon combines handcrafted cocktails, music, and immersive storytelling to create one of the most unique nightlife experiences at the CNE.
Majnoon draws inspiration from the timeless legend of Layla and Majnun, a love story embraced across Arabic, Persian, Turkish, and South Asian cultures for centuries. A story that belongs to no single place, but continues wherever people gather to share it.
A Toronto Summer Tradition
Why the CNE
For nearly 150 years, the Canadian National Exhibition has brought Canadians together through shared experiences, traditions, food, and entertainment. As Canada continues to evolve, we’re excited to contribute to that tradition by creating spaces where people gather, connect, and celebrate together.
