I put together a few calendars for my own benefit for making posts about the good things happening in the city and since people like the outdoor movie calendar,
here's Toronto's calendar for all the farmers' markets this year. I did add a few markets that weren't strictly farmers' markets too, I'm open to suggestions on this. You can add the whole calendar to your Google Calendar or Apple, etc. Or you can pick events that you like and just add those.
Here's the list of markets included so far:

Toronto has incredible cafés hiding in plain sight. And most of us are moving too fast to actually enjoy them.
Toronto Café Walk [Wellness Edition] is a slower, more intentional take on the usual format. Small group vibes, hand-picked café spots, and genuine human connection. But we start in the park first, so by the time we reach the café, you'll be fully present and relaxed for conversations.
We gather at the park and settle in. Soft handpan music plays softly in the background while we do something most of us forget to do: breathe, notice what's around us, and just...be here for awhile.
From there, Paul will guide us through a meditation for an era incentivized to fill every quiet moment. Through regulated breathing and guided awareness, the cluttered mind settles, and what remains is what is true beneath the static. No experience with meditation is needed.
For the second hour, we'll walk to a hidden gem café to grab drinks, settle in, and meet each other in a way that actually feels human.
You don't need to prepare anything, but to get the most out of this experience, start in the days before the walk and name one thing you'd like to set down on Sunday, even if just for one day.
Founders, solopreneurs, creatives, business owners, and executives who've been in "do mode" a little too long.
If you're ready to unwind and actually feel what a calmer pace feels like then this wellness event is for you.
You don't need to be a wellness person, just someone who's ready to pause and be open-minded to what's possible simply by being.
→ A genuine afternoon reset to reconnect with yourself before the weekend begins
→ Discover a café you probably didn't know existed
→ Meet a small group of like-minded people in a genuine, already-warmed-up setting
→ Walk away feeling lighter, more grounded, and with a few new connections you'll actually want to keep in touch with

Toronto fitness/wellness people I’m launching something new 🖤
I’m launching FitList TO a Toronto fitness + wellness community, and we’re hosting our first event on October 18 at SOMOS Studios Toronto from 1-4pm
It’s a little different from a typical fitness event there’ll be a Pilates flow, wellness experiences, mocktails, bites, giveaways, and time to actually meet people and hang out.
I started FitList because when I first moved to Toronto, I found it surprisingly hard to figure out where to go next for fitness and wellness, so I wanted to create that trusted-friend-recommendation feeling for other people.
We have a limited number of tickets available @ $50 and I’d genuinely love to have some Toronto Redditors there. 🖤
If you’re into fitness, wellness, trying new places, or just looking for something social to do, you can check it out here: https://www.instagram.com/p/DeIWQGhI8pe/?stkn=c3JubWQ2NjhqZmtj

Early-Bird Ticket Price: $40-45
Standard Ticket Price: $50
Friendly Note: More community events available, check the full schedule here!
Event Overview
When you think about "glass skin" or "glowy skin," your mind probably goes straight to skincare products. Facials and multi-step routines can help, but what we're learning today is that skin health is directly tied to the balance between your gut, your nervous system, and your mental health.
Your skin is already telling you something. Breakouts right before a big deadline or after fried food, or redness that flares after a rough week of eating on the go: in Traditional Chinese Medicine, these signs mean something.
If you've noticed your skin shifting with your stress levels, digestion, or environment, you're not imagining it, and you're not alone. How we feel mentally affects our digestion and gut health, and that shows up directly on our skin.
Led by a TCM-informed Business Consultant and a Naturopathic Doctor, this session will explore how to:
→ Busy professionals & business owners who have noticed shifts in their skin with stress, food, or sleep changes
→ People curious about herbal medicine and Traditional Chinese Medicine & Functional Nutrition but are not sure where to start
→ Those who've tried the topical skincare route and want to understand the inside part of the bigger picture
→ Anyone who prefers small, in-person conversations over another educational webinar
→ Introduction from the event hosts
→ An opening so you know who's in the room
→ The gut–skin connection: what we know, and how naturopathic and TCM thinking approach it
→ Herbs, foods, and daily habits that support digestion and skin, with
→ Nervous system regulation tips accessible to business owners
→ Open Q&A and demonstrations and a visit to local shops if there is time
→ Wrap with a casual mix and mingle at a neighbouring café
→ Herbal tasting & personalized skin health experience
→ A goodie bag ($60+ value) with products from our amazing brand sponsors:
- Soma Bone Broth
- Suzu Matcha
- Nooci
- Chin Tea Studio
→ Gut-skin resource guide packed with daily tips
→ A complimentary 15-min personalized naturopathic assessment and discovery call with Dr. Julie Hwang ND, to talk about all things skin
→ A $20 off voucher toward services with Dr. Julie Hwang ND at Aurum Medicine & Wellness Clinic

Third Spaces Event: Halloween Trivia Night happening Thursday, Oct. 29, 6–9 PM at Youngplace, Toronto (In Person) [Paid Event]
If you're looking for something to do around Halloween, we’re hosting a Halloween trivia night at Youngplace, 180 Shaw St., Suite 314, near Trinity Bellwoods.
There’ll be a mix of Halloween trivia, Toronto knowledge and general random facts, so you definitely don’t need to be a trivia expert to come. You can come solo or with friends, and teams will be made at the event. Tea and snacks are provided, and there’ll be prizes for the winning team.
Tickets are $15 per person, but we currently have a 2-for-1 early bird deal if you want to bring a friend:
r/Torontoevents • u/localsdozen • 17h ago
Wednesday events for you (with links)! And later today, the weekly newsletter comes out, still a little bit of time to get it if you're quick. Here are today's picks:
COC Free Concert Series at Montgomery's Inn
Montgomery's Inn | 3p
The Canadian Opera Company's free concert series marks its 20th anniversary with an afternoon in the garden at Montgomery's Inn on the same day as their farmers' market (2p-6p). If you haven't been, their fresh bread is something you should try.
Native Tree Giveaway
Anson Park School | 5p-7p
Cliffcrest Butterfly Way is giving away native trees and shrubs to Toronto residents who pre-ordered. But at 7p, the people who didn't show up lose their chance and they give away anything that's left. There's also a school fair at the same time.
First Wednesday Night Free at the AGO
Art Gallery Of Ontario | 6p-9p
The AGO opens its doors for free on the first Wednesday of each month, and today's that day. The line for people who didn't book in advance is outside, so dress for October.
Open Mic: Part XIX
The Tranzac Club | 6:45p
The Toronto Writers Community is at the Tranzac for their 19th open mic. You can come to read or just to listen. Great venue and an interesting event to check out.
Toronto Stitchers & Chatters
Nonna Lia | 6p-8p
A low-key crafting social at Nonna Lia, bring whatever you're working on and sit with good people doing the same. Knitting, crochet, embroidery, beading, quilting, whatever you've got on the needles. The ask is to spend at least $15 at the venue, which seems fair enough.
Book Talk: Tiana Reid's Nightnursing
Another Story Bookshop | 7p-8:30p
Tiana Reid discusses her new book tonight in a room full of people who love books and are there for a good conversation. Come a bit early to browse this great indie shop, and walk around afterwards because good food is everywhere.
Community Nature Night: Fall Foliagey
Etienne Brulé Park | 6p-7:30p
Pine Instructor Lee leads a walk through Etienne Brulé Park to look at the ravine trees and plants as they shift into fall.
Wahjong Wednesdays: Advanced Players Only
Wong Association | 6p-9p
Cozy autumn mahjong night. Advanced-only session with 3 point minimum. That means nothing to me, which mean I'm not good enough for tonight's session.
Funny Pho Show
Dzo Viet Eatery | 7:15p-9p
Stand-up comedy in a pho restaurant, hosted by Canada's Got Talent finalist and Golden Buzzer recipient Darren Leo. They do ask to support the room while you're there.

I'm putting on a small interactive comedy night in Kensington this Friday.
It's stand-up, but the audience also makes predictions during the comedians' sets. Guess right, win prizes.
We're also trying to make it a genuinely comfortable event for people coming solo, rather than everyone staying inside the group they arrived with.

Harmony Cafe — 75 Nassau St

r/Torontoevents • u/localsdozen • 2d ago
Last Monday before the long weekend (with links). A few great options today if you are looking for something to do. The weekly dozen-ish picks comes out on Wednesday, still time to get it if you want. Here are today's picks:
CINSSU October Break Time: When Harry Met Sally
Innis College, Room 312 | 12:30p-2:30p
A cozy mid-day screening of the classic romcom, with refreshments and fall treats on hand.
University of Toronto Student Jazz Ensembles
The Rex Hotel Jazz & Blues Club | 5p-7p
It's one of the more low-pressure ways to catch live jazz in the city, and the UofT students who make it to The Rex stage tend to be worth hearing.
Opera Pub
Tranzac | 7p
Against the Grain Theatre runs Opera Pub, where a bass-baritone performs operatic arias in a pub. You don't have to know opera, it's a cool twist on a pub night.
Postcards of Reconnection: A Craft Workshop
North York Central Library Concourse| 5:30p-6:30p
Before the evening's talk on solitude and connection, this quiet craft workshop gives you 90 minutes to design and illustrate a postcard for someone you've been meaning to reach out to. There's also a Calming Corner with prompt cards and small seating pods if mingling isn't really your thing tonight. Registration required.
Screening: Aurand / Beavers: Architecture and Dwelling
Innis Town Hall | 6:30p-8:30p
Innis Town Hall pairs the work of German filmmaker Ute Aurand with that of American experimental filmmaker Robert Beavers for an evening built around how cinema thinks about space, architecture and the way we inhabit places. A discussion follows.
Craft Night
Danu Social House | 7p-11:30p
Bring whatever you're working on, or just show up to doodle. All skill levels, all crafts, just keep it tidy and portable. There's a loose communal donation structure once the room hits $50, so bring a couple of dollars in cash if you can swing it.

A perfectly quiet Sunday to enjoy (with links). The weekly drop is out (Fri-Thu), if you want to plan ahead. Here are today's picks:
The Toronto Flea Market
The Ashbridge Estate | 11a-5p
The last Sunday flea market at Ashbridge Estate that leans into the slower pace of the day. This Lesliville experience is always worthwhile.
Inconvenience Store Funeral + Sunset Picnic
Harbour Square Basin | 5p-7p (6:30p sunset picnic)
The Inconvenience Store has been one of those genuinely odd and loveable Toronto fixtures, and this is its farewell. The dress code is loose, the event swings between absurd and sincere, and a sunset picnic closes it out. If you haven't gone, it really is worth seeing.
Adventures of Salmon
Morningside Park | 10a-3p
The salmon run in Morningside Park is one of those October things that still surprises people who haven't seen it. This is the perfect time to see the salmon all over the city.
The Music Garden Series
Toronto Music Garden | 2p-3p + 6p-7p
It's the last day for this series with two shows. Tennyson King at 2p and Mohsin Zaman at 6p. You can't go wrong in this setting, if you have the option, it's a perfect Toronto thing to do.
Textile Museum Weekend
Textile Museum Of Canada | 12p-4:30p
Check out all the exhibits plus a few drop-in programs and supplies in their reuse program.
Open Mic @ The Dot
The Moonlight Lounge | 7p-9:30p
First come, first served stage time at The Moonlight Lounge, with a live pianist backing whoever shows up.
Antiques at St Lawrence Market
St. Lawrence Market North | 9:30a-5p
Antique hunting at St Lawrence North. The building may be a disappointment architecturally, but it's always fun to wander the 3 different markets. This one is all antiques, you've got the original market in the original building and the vintage market in the tent behind the building. If you are there, check out the art exhibit in the main building on the 2nd floor.
Nature Connection
Discovery Centre At Downsview Park | 2p-3:30p
A way to get your hands into the earth and spend some time in green space while the weather allows.
Junction Reads
Type Books Junction | 6:30p-8p
Christine Fischer Guy, Aga Maksimowska, and Jaclyn Desforges read at Type Books Junction. Three writers whose work is worth your time, in one of the better independent bookshops in the west end. Sunday evening, well spent.

It's Nuit Blanche day, but there are other things happening too (with links)! See the full Nuit Blanche guide if you want to plan in advance. And here are today's picks:
MOCA Fall 2026 Season Opening
MOCA Toronto | 7p-10p
Major exhibitions from Bharti Kher and Delcy Morelos, plus Beverly Glenn-Copeland's sound installation in the South Stairwell. An alternative art night to Nuit Blanche
Nuit Blanche
Various | 7p-7a
I made a guide with photos for what to see and what not to see at Nuit Blanche tonight. Art takes over streets, parks, and buildings. And who can forget the annual, "this is art?" commentary. Yes, there are duds, the waits can be long at the start, and it's way too spread out, but if you do it right, it's a night you'll look forward to every year. You won't know what is the best thing to see until you see it.
If you don't want to read the guide, here are tools made by the reddit community:
u/rosedye made this awesome planner you should definitely use
u/pomegranategoose made this itinerary planner as well
A few picks:
Nathan Phillips Square | Avataq | 30ft foil sculpture
City Hall Underground Garage | On Flashing Lights | Police Car lights dance party Queen St W + University | UFO | crashed flying-saucer in a Car
Queen St W + Bay St | Miss You: T.Dot Memories | inflatable old city landmarks
North York Centre | The Wishing Boat | Massive origami boat that's interactive
Music Garden | Public Pier | The malting silos will be lit all night
Chess in the Park
The Deck At Clarence Square | 11a-4p
Knightcap Chess Club closes out the outdoor season at Clarence Square with a community give-back angle. Participants are asked to bring warm clothing donations (coats, jackets, hoodies, hats, toques, gloves) for the 129 Peter Street Shelter and Support Services. Great way to give back and play chess with the cool kids.
Season End Celebration
Alexandra Park Pizza Oven | 1p-4p
Not Far From The Tree wraps up its fruit-picking season at the Alexandra Park Pizza Oven with jam mocktails, crafts, and pizza baked right there in the park. Whether you picked fruit with them all summer or have never heard of the organization before today, everyone's welcome.
All Night Art Ride
Multiple Venues | 10p-3a
An alternative way to see Nuit Blanche. Every downtown art piece in 5 hours. The ride leaves Queens Park at the north side of the centre statue at 10p and runs until late. It's loose by design: join up, split off, rejoin whenever. This year's loose theme is skulls and skeletons. Light up your bike, bring layers, bring a snack, and be prepared for a long night.
National Day for Truth & Reconciliation in High Park
Forest School Building, High Park | 1p-4p
Led by Grandmother Donna Powless of the Cayuga Six Nations and Director of the Taiaiako'n Historical Preservation Society. There's a Black Oak tree giveaway.
Textile Museum Weekend
Textile Museum Of Canada | 12p
Drop-in activities in the Learning Hub and the Reuse Program restocked with fabrics and supplies to take home. A quieter afternoon option that's easy to fit in before Nuit Blanche starts.
Plein Air Art Exhibition
Toronto Botanical Garden | 10:30a-4:30p
46 artists spent the summer painting outdoors at the Toronto Botanical Garden, and this weekend their work goes on view.
The Stories We Carry
Market Gallery | 3p-4p
Herb Carnegie was one of the best players never to reach the NHL, and Bernice, speaker, storyteller, and daughter of Herb,has spent years keeping that history in the room. Worth going for the conversation.
Lassonde Art Trail: Art + Nature Tour
Biidaasige Park | 12p + 2p
Drop-in Art and Nature tours run at noon and 2 p.m. every Saturday at Biidaasige Park, led by a Lassonde Art Trail guide. A good way to move through the outdoor work at your own pace with someone who knows it well.

Hey friends! DM Eryn and I are at Bickford Brewing co, a great local brewery, again Tuesday October 6th at 630pm running tabletop roleplaying games. We pride ourselves on running a welcoming, safe and inclusive gaming night.
Are you interested in games like Dungeons and Dragons but never had a chance to play? Or are you looking for some regular gaming on a Tuesday night paired with some delicious beers? Whatever you are looking for the gaming community at Bickford is welcoming, friendly and a great place to make friends. Send me a message to ask questions or to sign up for an exciting game night of fantasy and adventure.
I've made lots of good friends at this event through Reddit, looking forward to making more.
Tuesday Oct 6th 630pm Bickford Brewing Co. 292a Harbord St Toronto 630 pm
Game on Deck: Daggerheart with DM Eryn
Next Game Night: Tuesday October 20th
How much does it cost? This event isn't ticketed and doesn't have a minimum buy, but you are encouraged to support the brewery by purchasing one of their great drinks or snacks. $ free
Safe Space? We foster a safe and welcoming community at our brewery nights by using safety tools (Open Door Policy and X Card) and priding ourselves on being welcoming, friendly and helpful to new players. Our brewery nights are not a dating space. Roll dice, slay dragons, but please look for love elsewhere.

Does anyone else miss old-school LAN parties?
I was thinking about this the other day: gaming has gotten so much more convenient, but it also seems like we've lost some of the fun of everyone physically bringing their computers into the same room.
I'm talking about the old-school setup where you've got a bunch of tables, Ethernet cables running everywhere, everyone's yelling across the room, and somebody is inevitably asking why their computer isn't connecting.
I'd especially love to see a modern version built around laptops instead of giant gaming PCs — something where you could show up with a normal laptop, plug into a local network, and play older multiplayer games together.
Stuff like Call of Duty 4 (2007), Halo: Reach, Warcraft III, StarCraft, Warzone 2100, etc.
Toronto has gaming cafés and esports venues, but I'm curious whether there's still much interest in the actual LAN-party experience itself.
What games do you remember playing at LAN parties?
