The luck of the Irish is on our side this week, Toronto! St. Patrick’s Day is around the corner and we’re planning on celebrating in all the best ways we can. Sure, we can’t take to the streets dressed head to toe in green like a regular year, but there’s still plenty of stuff going on to keep us occupied.
Here are 10 things to do for St. Patrick’s Day in Toronto.
THE WHEATSHEAF TAVERN LIVESTREAM
Toronto’s oldest bar and live music venue is bringing us a killer livestream to celebrate the holiday. You can catch performances from Shawn Creamer and Paul Meadows live on Instagram. Be sure to chow down on Irish snacks and beer while you watch.
