15 things to do in Toronto on Family Day

Things to do in Toronto on Family Day include winter skating, exploring art events, and enjoying ongoing festivals to mark the occasion. 

If you're looking for a scenic outdoor experience, head over to Harbourfront Centre for Skate by the Lake, where you can skate by the waterfront. And for the unversed, The Bentway's Winter Skate continues throughout the long weekend, giving you a chance to skate under the Gardiner Expressway.

Art lovers are in luck this Family Day because Winter Stations officially kicks off on Monday. You can head over to Woodbine Beach to check out a curated exhibit featuring artists from across the country.

And of course, both the KUUMBA Festival 2026 and the Queen's Park Family Day Winter Festival are running on your day.

There's all this and many other things to do in Toronto on Family Day. Check out our weekend round-up to see if anything overlaps, and of course, the events calendar is always up to date for you to plan out the long weekend. Happy Family Day!
