A FREE five-day event is taking over Toronto's Roundhouse Park this weekend

This long weekend, as Fan Expo Canada takes over the city, pop culture and entertainment enthusiasts are invited to attend the city’s largest ‘house party’ where fan-favourite content will come to life.

The five-day entertainment extravaganza will feature non-stop free activities including movie screenings, celebrity meet-and-greets, opportunities to rub elbows with current and former Blue Jays and Maple Leaf players and plenty of family-friendly activities.

Located at the corner of Bremner Blvd. and Lower Simcoe Street in Toronto’s historic Roundhouse Park, the Rogers Ignite TV Command House will be the destination to celebrate the long weekend.

On Thursday evening, fans will have a chance to relive the thrills of one of the most iconic films in history with a special 25th-anniversary screening of Steven Spielberg’s original Jurassic Park.

Whether you’re a Dr. Grant, a Dr. Sattler, or even a “Newman,” moviegoers are invited to rock their safari best to celebrate this classic film and take part in an attempt to establish a new world record for the “Largest Gathering of People to Watch Jurassic Park.”
