25 things to do in Toronto for the 2026 Victoria Day long weekend

Things to do in Toronto this Victoria Day long weekend include plenty of outdoor activities now that the warmspring weather is here, some comedy shows and a dazzling fireworks display to celebrate the special occasion. 

For those wanting to spend time outdoors, this long weekend gives you plenty of excuses to get some fresh air. Here's your chance to check out Pingle's Tulip Days and stroll through hundreds of gorgeous flowers and take the cutest pictures for the 'gram.

If you're looking for something to do outdoors downtown, then be sure to check out the new waterfront food festival, Festival of Flavours, which takes place at Sugar Beach all weekend long. 

A ton of comedy shows are lined up in the coming days, too. Renowned comedians like Amir K, Matt McCusker, and Alex Edelman are all scheduled to entertain Toronto residents this long weekend, so if comedy is your thing, get ready to laugh your butt off.

And of course, no long weekend celebration is complete without fireworks. The annual Victoria Day fireworks are happening at Ashbridges Bay Park this coming Monday night, featuring a 14-minute display of colourful explosions in the night sky. 

There's all this and so many other things to do in Toronto this Victoria Day long weekend. You can always read our previous round-ups for more inspo, or check out the complete events calendar to see more of what's happening around town.
