15 things to do in Toronto this weekend

With the last day of summer quickly approaching, things to do in Toronto this weekend include fun outdoor festivals to squeeze in more time in the sun and the start of fall-inspired events slowly taking over the city's venues. 

If you like to hold on to summer as long as possible, you have this weekend to go out and bask in the sun (if you're lucky!) one more time, with festivals like Roncesvalles Polish Festival and Smoke-A-Palooza 2026 taking over various corners of the city. 

And as those festivals mark the end of one season, Oktoberfest celebrations mark the start of fall. This weekend, check out The Distillery District Oktoberfest and the Oktoberfest Bierhalle for your annual dose of steins and Bavarian bests!

Sports fans can also rejoice as the city gets ready to celebrate six-time NBA All-Star Kyle Lowry this Saturday at Kyle's Block Party, ahead of his retirement later this year. 

There's all this and so many other things to do in Toronto this week. Be sure to read our previous roundups for anything that may overlap, and the complete events calendar to plan ahead. Enjoy the last weekend of summer, Toronto!
