It’s already Sunday – so we better start planning your week.
We’ve combed through pages of concert listings, live performances and dance parties to bring you a curated shortlist of the coolest activities for all price-ranges and interests.
There’s something for everyone, so don’t hold back!
The Toronto Festival of House Culture
Everyone knows house parties are the best kind of parties. So how about shaking it up a bit and attending a house party at a stranger’s home? The Toronto Festival of House Culture is seven-day party marathon, where all its events take place in someone else’s house, and anyone can attend. You can peruse an indoor garage sale in fancy Forest Hill, or learn how to pour a glass of whiskey even Don Draper would love in Trinity-Bellwoods. This event is accessible and has something for everyone, but make sure to show up on time. The festival’s organizers take punctuality very seriously according to their website. Tickets are give what you can.

The Grey Cup Festival
The biggest event in Canadian football is coming to Toronto, the 104th Grey Cup Festival! The festival features several events for CFL enthusiasts, including a Sheepdogs concert, the CFLAA Legends Luncheon, and of course, the main event itself, the Grey Cup Championship Game. Throw on your favourite football jersey and getting ready to do the wave like a champ! Ticket prices vary depending on the event.

When: November 22 to 27
Regent Park Film Festival
Toronto is a city of film lovers; however, tickets to our city’s film festivals are sadly out of reach for most Torontonians. Since 2003, the Regent Park Film Festival has existed as a completely free event that seeks to expose all Torontonians to great flicks from around the world. The festival places a particular focus on films that challenge stereotypes. In addition to a bevy of short and feature-length movies, this year’s fest even features a panel with the cast of CBC’s hit show Kim’s Convenience!
Where: 585 Dundas Street East
When: November 23 to 26
