Community Things To Do This Weekend in Toronto (June 22nd -23rd)

After a long week and an exciting Toronto Raptors Championship Parade on Monday find some time to embrace the warm weather outdoors! Here is our list of active things to do this weekend in the Toronto Area to decompress!

  1. Evergreen Brick Works

One of the greenest areas within the city! The evergreen brickworks is perfect for biking and hiking under a lush green urban forest. Sometimes it’s refreshing to embrace the outdoors and natural beauty as buildings, crowded streets and traffic can stress you out. TIP: Look in the pond you might even see some turtles.

2. The Summer Music Series

Throughout the summer at the Distillery District, there will be some of Canada’s brightest rising stars playing a variety of genres. 

3. Bike Through The Beaches

Bring your bike or if you do not have one, rent one. The Beaches boardwalk area straddles Lake Ontario and is consistently filled with great views and sports. You can stop to play some pickup beach volleyball, basketball or tennis as well. 

4. Catch a Game

Even though the Raptors season ended in celebration, sports fans do not need to enter post-June Sports Blues yet. The Toronto Argonauts are playing the Hamilton Tiger-Cats which should make for a great rivalry game. The games are open air which adds to the electric atmosphere!

5. Port Union Summer Festival

You can run or walk the 5K/10K route and finish your exercise off with a BBQ and some carnival rides which makes for an excellent day. 

Have an excellent weekend! It will be roughly 25c out and the sun will be shining! Bring some sunscreen along, get outside, be healthy and enjoy!
