Here we are; the last few days of Summer and the first few days of Fall! The weather is getting a bit cooler, so outdoor festivals down by the waterfront are being eschewed in favour of pumpkin patches and apple orchards. Old favourites are returning with new locations and new events are happening in Toronto’s landmarks! The turn of the season brings a bounty of new colours, flavours, events, and more to the city, and here are our picks for the best things to do in the city this week!
