10 markets to check out in Toronto this week
Markets in Toronto are picking up as the temperature warms up and the sun starts shining more consistently, and this week there are a number where you can find unique, antique and one-of-a-kind goodies from local businesses.
It's been said that summer is the best season in the city, but that discredits all of the bricks laid in the spring that help make it as great as it is. And, one of my favourite parts of the spring is the return of the city's numerous vendor markets.
There's really nothing you can't find at a market in Toronto, whether it's at a huge flower market boasting fresh blooms, an enormous celebration of Asian Heritage Month featuring all Asian-owned businesses, or a curated artisan market offering a diverse array of goods.
The fact that the vibes also just so happen to be impeccable is just the cherry on top.
Here are our picks for the markets in Toronto this week that you'll want to check out.
