Toronto is rolling out the red carpet for the 50th anniversary of the Toronto International Film Festival—and Don Julio is back in the spotlight. As the Official Tequila Sponsor, the brand is serving up cocktails, style, and unforgettable experiences, all while debuting something major: the Canadian launch of the Don Julio 1942 mini bottles. Small in size but seriously chic, these minis are designed for stylish toasts at every festival moment.
From black-tie galas to late-night lounges, Don Julio is proving once again that it knows how to throw a party.
A Star-Studded Toast at the Tribute Awards
At TIFF’s most glamorous evening, the Tribute Awards at the Fairmont Royal York, Don Julio 1942 takes centre stage. Guests will be among the very first in Canada to toast with the brand’s new minis—expect camera-ready cocktails, dazzling photo activations, and exclusive gifting that set the tone for a night of film, fashion, and celebration.
Elevation Studios: Sips and Screenings
Festival-goers heading to screenings and after-parties like Mile End Kicks, Steal Away, Bloodlines, and Honey Bunch can look forward to Don Julio cocktails flowing all night long. With interactive photo ops and red carpet-worthy moments, the tequila is as much a part of the action as the premieres themselves.
Nobu At Night: The Ultimate Festival After Dark
Running September 10–13, Nobu At Night transforms Nobu Bar & Lounge into Toronto’s late-night hotspot. On Sept. 10–11, guests with reservations will score an exclusive 1942 mini bottle cocktail to toast the festival in style. By Sept. 12–13, the vibe shifts to a speakeasy-inspired mini bar tour—every guest welcomed with a 1942 mini bottle cocktail before settling into their table. DJs keep the energy high, and with limited bottles available each night, it’s a one-of-a-kind experience. Even better? Nobu At Night will keep the party going every Friday through October 31, so festival vibes don’t stop when TIFF does.
Don Julio’s Signature Festival Glow-Up
Whether it’s an A-list gala or an after-hours speakeasy, Don Julio is proving that premium tequila deserves a starring role at TIFF. With immersive activations, glamorous cocktails, and the debut of those sleek 1942 minis, every sip is a celebration of creativity, culture, and connection.
Toronto, consider your festival season officially elevated. —Noa Nichol
