Summer is officially here, and Toronto’s event calendar is packed. From long-standing foodie favourites to movie nights under the stars, July is all about making the most of the city.
Start the month with a bang—literally—with Canada Day fireworks at the CN Tower. Then grab a fork and dig into Summerlicious, the beloved prix-fixe program that turns the city into one giant tasting menu. Want something a little more chill? Pack a blanket for Free Movies in the Park or check out ImportFest, Canada’s biggest car show, rolling into town for one day only. And if you’re into good food and better vibes, The Cookout at Stackt Market has you covered.
