St. Patrick’s Day Parade
The city comes alive with green as Toronto celebrates St. Patrick’s Day with its annual parade on Sunday. The parade kicks off at noon on the corner of St. George and Bloor Street West. Over the years, it has evolved into one of the largest Irish-themed events in Toronto.
Sugar Shack TO
Get into the maple spirit at Sugar Shack TO — back this year at a new location after being cancelled last year! Expect maple-infused comfort food, sugar cookies, a bonfire warming station, hot apple cider, a maple sugaring demonstration and live entertainment, including the Great Canadian Fiddle Show and Tim Burr, the Circus Lumberjack.
Shrek 2 in Concert
Shrek 2, the beloved family film featuring the voices of Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, Eddie Murphy, Antonio Banderas, John Cleese and Julie Andrews will be brought to life by the TO Live Orchestra both days this weekend!
St. Patrick’s Day Race
Get in on the fun at the Toronto St. Patrick’s Day Race! It’s been a beloved tradition since 2000 and kicks off the running season in style. Everyone’s invited to join in the excitement at the scenic Evergreen Brick Works venue on Sunday. Don’t miss the lively after-party with Irish music and refreshments! Participants will receive a technical running shirt, a unique finisher medal and the option to enjoy a pint of beer and a meal.
TIFF Oscars member watch party
Celebrate the 2026 Academy Awards among cinephiles this Sunday at the TIFF Oscars member watch party! Hosted by comedian Alice Rose, tune in for the biggest night in Hollywood and enjoy movie trivia courtesy of Toronto Trivia!
The Wall in Concert
On Monday, Pink Floyd fans can enjoy homage to the greatest rock opera of all time with musicians from the original Pink Floyd and Roger Waters tours plus the band. Experience The Wall like never before!
Pinocchio at the National Ballet
Premiering this Friday at the National Ballet is a 19th-century tale you know and love: Pinocchio. Created for the ballet by director and choreographer Will Tuckett, this performance features magical stage effects and plenty of Canadiana.
Mirvish’s Cyrano
On Saturday, see the North American premiere of this gender-flipped retelling of Cyrano de Bergerac by Virginia Gay. The irreverent rom-com follows charmer Cyrano, the brilliant Roxanne and the attractive but boring Yan in a sort-of love triangle.

The Music of Hans Zimmer and others
Celebrate the very best of film music with The Music of Hans Zimmer and others! On Tuesday, get immersed in the scores of Dune, James Bond, The Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lion King, Gladiator, The Dark Knight, Inception, Interstellar and so many others.
Rise Against at History
American group Rise Against is coming to Toronto for two shows on Tuesday and Wednesday as part of their North American tour, in support of their latest album release, Ricochet. They’ll be joined by special guests Destroy Boys!
