It’s a big night for Toronto. Not only is TIFF launching tonight, but it’s the night of the first-ever Toronto edition of Fashion’s Night Out. The citywide shopping event will unite style-setters like never before with extended hours, fashionable freebies and, of course, some bubbly. So ready your wallets and head down to our top five events of the night.
