September 16, 2026 | 9 Free Events in Toronto Today
A Wednesday that is better than it should be (with links). The newsletter is coming out today, get on the list quickly if you want in. Here are today's picks:
Collective Study: k-os' Joyful Rebellion
The Palmerston Theatre | 6:30p-9p
Part listening session, part lecture, part living room, it's a cool way to reflect on 20 years of this Canadian album.
In Conversation: Allison Glenn, Curator - Toronto Biennial of Art
100 Mccaul St | 7p-8p
A good early look at what's coming with the curator at ocad.
Outdoor Movie: Legally Blonde
College Park | 8:30p-11:30p
45th time is a charm? This has been perpetually postponed, hopefully tonight stays nice. Live music from Flo Olavarria starts at five, there's a bike clinic running earlier in the afternoon, and then if everything goes well, Legally Blonde on a screen outdoors at dusk.
Book Launch for Women, Walking: Notes on Lives in Motion
Henderson Brewing Co | 7p-9p
Women, Walking is a collection of essays about women and movement, literal and otherwise. It says sold out, it's not. And it is family friendly despite being at a brewery.
LATAM: Party & Film Celebration
Silent H | 9p-1a
Latin American cinema and culture at Silent H. If you've been catching films this week and want to keep that energy going somewhere with a dance floor, this is the natural extension of the evening.
Toronto Stitchers & Chatters
Nonna Lia | 6p-8p
Bring whatever you've been meaning to finish, a knitting project, embroidery, something half-done in a bag by the door, and show up to work on it with other good people.
Scarborough Community Art Social
The Hub | 6p-8p
A regular gathering out in Scarborough for people who just need dedicated time and space to make things. If your art practice has been getting squeezed out by everything else, this is a spot to reclaim a couple of hours.
Question Everything Trivia
Courage Cookies @ Stackt Market | 7p-9p
Trivia at Stackt in a shipping container. Ten pop culture categories, wager rounds, and some Stackt-specific games thrown in. If you've been, you'll get why it's popular.
Montgomery's Inn Farmers' Market & Salsa Dancing
Montgomery's Inn | 2p-6p Dancing: 4p-5p
Local farmers, small food producers, vegetables, baked goods, and bread from the Inn's wood-burning oven while it lasts, and it never does. The Inn itself was once part of a 400-acre farm, so the whole thing has a bit of history behind it. At 4p, there's also salsa dancing, which I never thought would be a pairing?
