The weather is getting warmer and it’s time to get back out to enjoy all the entertaining events Toronto has to offer. We interviewed one of our Product Managers here at 411.ca to find out her top list of upcoming events. This is what she told us:

This long weekend is Easter which means Easter egg hunts will take place at various locations, such as Downey’s Farm Market, Kidnetix and some Toronto public libraries. Furthermore, April 2^nd marks the 7^th annual Bunny Hop which is one of the largest pub crawls in Canada.

Victoria Day, Canada Day, Civic/Province Day and Labour Day long weekends are coming up which means fireworks and road trips for many Canadians. Aside from stat holidays, there are miscellaneous events occurring on various weekends over the next few months.

Listed below are the top 5 lively and sizable events happening this Spring/Summer that I will definitely be attending:

1. Pillow Fight Toronto (Massive outdoor event) at Nathan Phillips Square
2. Pancake & Booze Art Show (Toronto’s largest pop-up underground art show) at The Opera House
3. Netflix and Chill Toronto (Toronto’s biggest movie festival) location TBD
4. Night Nation Run (World’s first running music festival) at  Woodbine Racetrack
5. Taste of Toronto (Toronto’s tastiest food festival) at Fort York

Summer is also when all the massive music festivals will be happening. Thousands of people come together in Toronto to see big artists and DJ’s from around the world.

The following list includes essential outdoor music festivals to check out:
1. Bestival-June 11^th & 12^th at Woodbine Park
2. Digital Dreams July 2^nd & 3^rd  at The flats/Ontario Place
3. Veld-July 30^th & 31^st at Downsview Park
4. Mad Decent Block Party – date TBD at Fork York Garrison
5. Turf-Sept 14^th-19^th at Fork York Garrison

There are some great websites you can use to stay up-to-date on upcoming public events such as http://www.toronto.com/things-to-do/ and https://www.facebook.com/events/upcoming. I use these websites to fill my calendar with a variety of activities. Next time someone asks you what you’re doing this weekend, you’ll now have endless options to choose from.
