Pillow Fight Toronto 2008 is Just Around the Corner
Who says Toronto isn’t a city where you can kick back and just have some extremely silly fun? I admit that when I first heard about this event from a friend of mine I was a bit skeptical, but as I started doing some checking around I discovered that it’s no joking matter. There actually is going to be a gigantic pillow fight in downtown Toronto at the end of this month and anyone that wants to participate is invited to do so!
Event Details
Event: Pillow Fight Toronto 2008

More Information: You can either e-mail love@newmindspace.com or check out the Facebook profile for the event.
Event Rules
I don’t think anyone can claim to be an expert on gigantic urban pillow fights (I certainly am not), but it seems like there are a number of problems that could crop up during such things. Well, the organizers of the event seem to be thinking along those lines as well, which is why the following rules have been put forward:
- only soft pillows are allowed
- make sure that you are very light on the swinging, because many people will be doing it at once
- only people with pillows and without cameras can be targeted for swinging
- make sure that you remove your glasses before participating in the pillow fight
- a signal to start will be given, before which no swinging is to occur
- make sure that you take your pillow home with you
- by participating in the event, you are agreeing to clean up twice the mess that you made
Those appear to be all of the rules that they currently have in place, although if you e-mail the organizer and get yourself on the list for updates, you’ll be well informed about anything else that comes across the wire. It certainly sounds like a fun event though, so definitely think about going if it sounds appealing to you.

A pillow fight can be great for releasing stress :)
I’m not sure how long Toronto has had this event, but it’s been around since at least 2007 since that’s where I got the picture from.
In any case, thanks for commenting!

How fantastic! New York City had their annual pillow flight on International Pillow Fight Day (yes, there is such a day) back in March.
It was the third year for New York to participate and there have been more people participating each year!

Wow, I had no idea there was actually an International Pillow Fight Day! I wonder why Toronto’s only having ours now.
