 # Things to Do in Toronto

Welcome to Things to Do in Toronto, listeners! I'm Oly Bennett, your globe-trotting guide to the world's most entertaining happenings, and boy do we have an incredible Saturday lined up for you here in Canada's most vibrant city!

Let me paint you the picture of Toronto right now. It's a chilly 4 degrees Celsius with a 60 percent chance of flurries shifting to rain showers near noon. Yeah, it's one of those classic February messy-mix days that Lake Ontario loves to throw at us, but honestly, that's never stopped a true Torontonian from getting out there and exploring!

Here's what's happening TODAY that'll get you moving. First up, The Outdoor Adventure Show is absolutely crushing it at the International Centre. We're talking over 350 exhibitors showcasing everything from camping gear to climbing equipment. If you've ever dreamed of paddling down some wild river or conquering a mountain, this is where you connect with the experts who'll make it happen.

Next, the Modern Bride Wedding Show is also happening at the International Centre. Listeners, if you're saying I do in 2026 or 2027, this is your chance to find Toronto's top wedding vendors and score some exclusive deals while you're at it.

For something completely different, swing by Lumière: The Art of Light over at Trillium Park at Ontario Place. Local artists have transformed the park into a glowing wonderland of light installations. Seriously, this place is Instagram gold, and it'll take your mind off that February chill instantly.

If you're feeling the cultural vibes, Toronto Chinatown is absolutely buzzing with Lunar New Year celebrations all weekend long. We're talking lion dances, dragon parades, delicious food, and family-friendly activities celebrating the Year of the Horse. This is Toronto's multicultural fabric at its finest, listeners.

And here's a hidden gem for tonight: if you're into poetry, live music, and authentic storytelling, Word of Mouth Presents We Are Here is happening at 13 Suns Ethiopian Café from 6 to 9 PM. It's a powerful evening of creativity and community connection that'll remind you why this city is so special.

Now here's your local tip: Toronto's winter messy-mix weather days are absolutely tied to Lake Ontario's moderating influence. The lake keeps surface temperatures hovering around freezing, which means you get these magical flip-flops between rain and snow that make the city feel genuinely alive. Embrace it!

My must-do recommendation for today? Layer up, grab a hot drink, and bounce between at least two of these events. The weather's moody, but Toronto's energy is infectious.

Tomorrow we're teasing the continuation of those Lunar New Year celebrations in Chinatown, plus a whole host of free family activities popping up across the city. Make sure you tune in tomorrow for the full breakdown!
