Join us on September 16, 2025, for the Polaris Gala—a celebrated evening that honours exceptional Canadian musical artistry. This prestigious event not only unveils this year’s winning album but also features live performances by the extraordinary artists on the Polaris Short List.
For the third consecutive year, the Polaris Gala will be hosted at the legendary, 130-year-old Massey Hall. The Polaris team is set to make dynamic use of this historic venue’s diverse spaces, creating an immersive experience that celebrates art, community, and groundbreaking music making.
The Polaris Prize winner is determined by an 11-member Polaris Grand Jury, carefully selected from our greater juror pool, ensuring a fair and visionary assessment of this year’s standout album.
