It's the biggest Rush Day yet…
Henderson Brewing Co. is throwing open our doors for the 4th Annual Rush Day — our local celebration of the music, the beer, and the international fan community of Canadian rock legends Rush. 🍺🎸
One day, one brewery, featuring…
- Rush Karaoke
- Band trivia
- Guided Beer Genuis* tasting sessions.
- A pop-up tattoo shop.
- A limited edition Rush Day beer you can only get here.
- Limited event merch.
- Rush Day Raffle (exclusive prizes!)
- Food trucks.
- Very special guests.
…and a few thousand die-hard fans who know every word to Subdivisions.
Fans have flown in from around the world for the last three. This year there's even more reason to make the trip. 👇
⚡️ THIS YEAR IS DIFFERENT
Rush is back… and Henderson is the place to be.
For the first time in 11 years, Rush returns to the stage — the Fifty Something tour brings a week-long Toronto engagement from August 7–13.
Tens of thousands of fans will be in town. As the band's official beer partner, Henderson Brewing is where you'll find your people.
Henderson Brewing is just a 30-minute commute to Scotiabank Arena via the UP Express train, making it the perfect spot for a pre-show drink, or to commune with fellow fans on an off-night.
