Mondays are no match for the city of Toronto, where there’s something fun to do every day of the week. Our city has truly come alive this summer, with live theatre, sports, nightlife, and activities returning after a long hiatus. You can do it all and more over the next few days, from football to Alice in Wonderland to inflatable obstacle courses.
We’re giving you every excuse in the book to get out there and soak up every last drop of summer we have left with a list of epic things to do in Toronto this week.
