Toronto is coming in hot with some good news to kickstart your weekend. Mayor John Tory announced that major Toronto events and festivals are officially allowed to resume this spring and summer.
“Thanks to the progress Team Toronto has made on the vaccine front and other key health indicators, the city is ready to welcome back in-person events and festivals and to reignite the cultural vibrancy of the city,” said a City of Toronto press release.
After two years of cancellations and online-only events, we could not be more excited to hit the streets and celebrate our beloved city traditions in person.
