October 12, 2026 | 5 Free Events in Toronto Today

Holiday Monday events are still happening! The weekly list is coming if you want to sign up. Here are today's picks:

Open Mic Mondays
The Painted Lady | 8p

A classic open mic night, with a proper backline. A feature set kicks things off just after 8, then it opens up at 9. Perform or just come to listen. Both are fine.

mindless mires #5: the fall of scarborough
% Arabica Union Station (meeting Point) | 3:10p-7:30p

A group dedicated to affordable ways to be social. 12-kilometre walk through the east end ravines on Thanksgiving Monday. Take the train out to Guildwood GO, then down through Morningside Park and along Highland Creek to the lake, finishing at Rouge Hill GO. Partly unpaved, so wear something you don't mind getting muddy.

Toronto's Fall Harvest Market
Sugar Beach | 5p-8p

The last day of the market which has gotten mixed reviews. But, hopefully with no rain, will have all the activities like the marshmallow fire pits. Worst-case you're by the lake on a holiday.

Question Everything Trivia
CIBC Square | 5:30p-7p

Pop culture leans heavy. Just double check this one's still happening.

Sorauren Farmers' Market
Sorauren Park | 3p-7p

This one is open year-round and today is the perfect day to go for a walk in the park and see what fall goods they are serving up.

Art Exhibits
11a-5p | Budapest Park | SHADE
