Honouring All Forms of Love and Loss in Toronto’s Entertainment District

Whether you’re celebrating your mom, chosen family, or honouring someone no longer with you, downtown Toronto offers meaningful ways to mark Mother’s Day. Here are 5 inclusive ways to embrace the day:

Mother’s Day Brunch at La Plume
Treat Mom to a French-inspired brunch at La Plume. Enjoy elegant pastries, decadent entrées, and sparkling sips in a refined setting. Before or after brunch, explore the shops at The Well. Can’t be together in person? Many downtown businesses offer curated gift packages and delivery options.

King West + Entertainment District Brunch Tour
Join Toronto’s only brunch food tour through two of its hippest neighbourhoods. This Sunday experience serves up great food, laughs, and lasting memories—perfect for anyone looking to do brunch differently.

Pamper Mom at Majesty’s Pleasure
Treat Mom to a luxurious experience at Majesty’s Pleasure on King Street West. This elegant spa features premium nail services, a grand lobby bar, and a curated gift boutique—perfect for relaxing and savouring a special moment together.

Honouring Complex Journeys and Loss

Motherless Day Toronto is space to celebrate, commiserate, and honour the moms who made us. For those grieving, this special Mother’s Day gathering in support of CAMH offers connection and reflection. Share stories, create memory collages, press flowers, and hear from the writer of My Dead Mom (Crave). Click here for tickets to this event, happening Sunday, May 11, 2025 from 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM at Waterworks Food Hall.

Fertility at Factory Theatre is a new production exploring diverse reproductive experiences—menstruation, infertility, miscarriage, abortion, trans identity, and more. The show runs the week before Mother’s Day, with a Relaxed & Child-Minding Matinee on Saturday, May 3 at 2:30 PM.

No matter your story, downtown Toronto offers ways to connect, celebrate, and honour this day in a way that’s right for you.
