15 things to do in Toronto this weekend

Things to do in Toronto this weekend are as interesting and diverse as the city itself — there's something for everyone. 

The Picklefest Food & Drink Festival is back for two days of tangy and fermented fun. And while we're talking about delicious bites, the annual Mimico Food Fest is also making its return for a one-day food frenzy, as is the Etobicoke Ribfest.

Oktoberfest celebrations are also underway, with the Bavarian-style events starting to pop up around the city for everyone to enjoy. And with harvest season now in full swing, Fall Festivals are also back! So, there are these and so many other events you can check out this weekend. 

Remember to check back at our previous roundup for the week for overlapping events, and sift through the full calendar to earmark upcoming festivals and attractions you may want to hit up.
