October 11, 2026 | 8 Free Events in Toronto Today

Long Weekend Sunday is like having a second Saturday. If you're enjoying these daily posts, check out the weekly newsletter. Here are today's picks:

Verbena Torontonica
Tranzac Club | 10p

A Thanksgiving celebration, Verbena style. That means cumbia-led (Colombian music) and communal. Bring something to share for the potluck, and expect the dancing to outlast the food. Starts at 10, so you can get your family time in and still enjoy this.

Fall Harvest Market
Sugar Beach | 12p-10p

Food and drink vendors, pumpkin bowling, axe throwing, marshmallow fire pits, and fall photos by the water.

Ravine Days Stewarding
Highland Creek Park | 11a

A day out at Highland Creek Park with short talks woven in.

Sunday Long Weekend Party
Mahjong Bar | 10p

The secret entrance bar that was all over socials when it opened. DJ Baby Q and Mixed by OTR with no cover all night. Pair it with dinner on Ossington first and that's a nice night out.

Anti-Capitalist Book Fair
Cecil Community Centre | 10a-6p

A bunch of booksellers, organizations, and artists set up shop. Probably a lot of finds you won't see at your average market.

Long Weekend Video Dance Party
Ground Control | 10p-2:30a

Customer appreciation night means no cover and a floor full of requests. You pick the music, they run the videos. Long weekend Sunday, so expect people to stay later than they planned.

Thanksgiving Market
The Parkdale Hall | 11a-4p

Local makers, seasonal goods, and the general pleasantness of a Sunday market when the city is in a long-weekend mood.

Mural Sticker Making
