Hundreds gathered at Trinity Bellwoods Park in Toronto's west end after RSVPing to a free "group scream" event online, a way to come together and let out all their heartbreak, anger and frustration.
That emotional release was supposed to happen just once. But the crowd started chanting "one more scream" almost right away. Nearly half an hour of intermittent shouting, laughs and loud cheers followed.
Some posed for photos with a "Group Scream!" sign. Others took selfies with new friends. A few passed around ice creams to help the screamers cool down.
Participants described it as "cathartic" and a "state of euphoria."
Here is a look at some scenes from the event.
