15 things to do in Toronto on August Long Weekend 2026

Things to do in Toronto this August long weekend 2026 include a line of Caribana events, outdoor festivals, and concerts. 

With Toronto Caribbean Carnival officially taking over the city starting later this week, be sure to check out parties like the Toronto Caribana Boat Party, the Caribana Festival Long Weekend Party, and the unmissable Grand Parade, all happening across various venues around town. 

And music lovers can rejoice because yesteryear icons Akon and Ne-Yo are ready to perform two back-to-back shows for their fans. If that wasn't enough, you can also check out Daniel Caesar performing at Scotiabank Arena, too.

Other than Caribana, the city is also hosting outdoor festivals like VELD and Island Soul to make sure that everyone stays entertained and on their feet, all weekend long.
