As you all know, Toronto is famously cold 8 months of the year. That’s why Torontonians appreciate summer more. During the summer, you can see everybody soaking up the sun on the patios, drinking, hanging out with friends and enjoying the long summer days.
Summers in Toronto are filled with a ton of events and things to do.
Here are a list of things to do. If you feel I missed out, don’t hesitate to drop a comment below.
- Drop by Toronto Island.
– The only way to get to the island is by taking a ferry or a water taxi. I recommend the ferry just cause it’s cheaper. The Jack Layton Ferry Terminal is located between Bay Street and Yonge Street on Queens Quay. Ferry tickets can be purchased on the city side at the terminal or bought online.
Head to https://www.torontoisland.com/ferry.php for more info. - Catch a free movie in the park.
– Summer nights are nice to enjoy at any of our wonderful parks watching a classic movie. Check your local listings for available times and schedules. - See the stars in the TIFF.
– The Toronto International Film Festival is one, if not, the most widely recognized film festivals in the world. Here, you will be able to see both high budget films and independently-produced movies. Some of the world’s most famous celebrities come to TIFF too to premiere their movies. Be sure to line up for tickets early because they sell out fast.
- Caribana
– Caribana is one of Toronto’s premiere events during the summer. People dress up in all kinds of feathers, stones and sequins and join the parade that starts out at the Exhibition Place. - Music Festivals
– Veld, OVO Fest and a whole lot more. These ones are the ones I’m most looking forward to.

4. CNE
– The Canadian National Exhibition, also known as The Exhibition or The Ex, is an annual event that takes place at Exhibition Place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, during the final 18 days leading up to and including Canadian Labour Day, the first Monday in September. It is filled with lots of carnival rides, food festivals, air shows and concerts.
5. Food Festivals
– Food festivals abound in the city during this time. Every culture’s food has a festival in the city during the summer months. From Taste of Danforth to Taste of Manila, all the cultures are represented here.
