events / festivals: Festivals
  • Tip Rating:
  • Toronto is a very multi-cultural city, usually every week there are a few cultural, music or film festivals. So before visiting Toronto (we call it TO for short) Check out one of the entertainment guides. Often the festivals are free. Pictured is a Jazz festival held in TO's historic distillery district held in late May, free on Sunday only.

    events / festivals: Toronto Gay Pride Parade
  • Tip Rating:
  • Once a year Toronto's large gay community holds gay pride week. With around a million atendance it is one of the largest. The highlight is the Sunday Parade. Definitely a colorful Fun event not to be missed regardless of personal sexual orientation! Warning there is nudity and costumes of a type that might be difficult to explain to your children. I saw several mothers shielding their children's eyes.
