Great Dancing! Great Music, Great Company!
Fantastic Location - Come Holiday with Us!

This year we are trying something new. In order to ensure there will be space on the dance floor for every dancer, we are limiting attendance to 90 people. We are also requiring pre-registration to avoid anyone getting turned away at the door. Please register via PayPal (or credit card) using the form below.

Your PayPal receipt will be your admission ticket. Tickets are fully transferable - just give the receipt to the person you want to use it.

Cancellations: Until July 2, refunds will be issued minus a $5.00 processing fee. From July 3 to July 9, refunds will be issued for 50% of the ticket price. After July 9 no refunds will be issued. To cancel, send email to Richard at island@tcdance.org .

As of July 14, we have 19 tickets remaining. If the event sells out, we will start a wait list and add instructions for getting your name on it.

Dinner Picnic Break

We will be having a one hour picnic break from around 5:30 to 6:30 pm. You'll need to bring your own picnic supper.

The Clubhouse has no kitchen facilities.The only available sinks and taps are in the washrooms. We will provide lemonade and ice water as usual, but not tea or coffee. There are two refrigerators available, located outside. If you can bring a cooler for your food please do so. We will bring disposable plates and cutlery but the Clubhouse does not provide any. The picnic tables on the north side are for our use.

There is also The Island Cafe attached to the Clubhouse, open until 8:30. That's where you can get your coffee. Their menu looks pretty good, too. They will be told that a dance will be going on and hopefully won't run out of food.

Ferry Schedule

In July 2017, because of flooding, the ferry schedule is unusual. Per the official schedule, the trip takes about 15 minutes in each direction.

  • There are currently no ferries to Centre Island or Hanlan's Point

  • On weekends, the Ward's Island ferry leaves the city at 45 minutes after the hour throughout most of the day. There will be ferries at 1:45 pm, 2:45 pm, etc until 9:45 pm.

  • The Ward's Island ferry will leave the island on the hour throughout most of the day, with some oddities at the end of the day. Ferries will leave the island at 10:00 pm, 10:45 pm, and 11:30 pm.
