15 things to do in Toronto this week

Things to do in Toronto this week include everything from festivals and concerts to outdoor markets and, of course, the renowned Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) and its associated premieres, parties and fun.

With the summer season coming to an end, there's still some time to check out the Kensington Flea for your weekly dose of local shopping. Don't forget to stop by the Asialicious Carnival, where you can enjoy all things synonymous with Asian culture. And for the music lovers in the city, it's concert galore.

Top performers like Dua Lipa, Morgan Wallen and others are gracing local stages — there's all this and so much more to do! 

You can always check out last weekend's event roundup to see if there's something on there that overlaps and interests you, too. And, as usual, our full events calendar of what's coming up is also available.
