15 things to do in Toronto this week

Things to do in Toronto this week include everything from festivals and farmers' markets to concerts and so much more in between. 

With the spooky season officially here, this week marks the start of many haunted attractions around town. For starters, check out Martino Manor and The Paranormal Magic Show, which will run all month long and offer plenty of fun. 

But if a series of sinister haunts aren't on your to-do list this week, you can indulge in other seasonal activities to kick off October. The Scarborough Farmers' Market and the fall edition of the Riverside Vintage Crawl are great options to explore for a day out without the scares. 

And of course, this week we will also honour National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and events like a commemoration at the Bata Shoe Museum and Art Gallery of Ontario's annual art-inspired gathering will help us memorialize victims of the residential school system. 

There's all this and so many other things to do in Toronto this week. Read our past roundups for overlapping attractions, and check out our events calendar for a full list of what's happening ahead.
