15 things to do in Toronto this weekend

Things to do in Toronto this weekend include festivals, concerts, and free events for everyone to enjoy. 

Festival lovers are in luck, because the upcoming weekend is jam-packed with a variety of festivals throughout the city. Popular attractions like JerkFest and Taco Fest are back on the streets of Toronto, while the much-anticipated Taste of the Danforth makes its return after a years-long hiatus. 

Anyone who's on a budget — count me in! — and needs something to do that won't break the bank, here are two super fun ideas: head over to Leslie Grove Park for a free screening of The Sandlot (1993) under the stars, or if you prefer the stage over the screen, there's also a free musical happening at St. James Park

There's all this and so many other things to do in Toronto this weekend. Be sure to read our past round-ups for any overlapping events that may interest you, and our complete events calendar is always up-to-date to help you plan ahead.
