The Best Things to do in Toronto This Weekend

As we inch closer and closer to summer, things are beginning to heat up here in Toronto with a lot of really cool events and festivals happening in the 6ix.

Here’s a look at some of the best things to do in Toronto this weekend (June 2-4).

THE MAC & CHEESE FESTIVAL

My mouth is already drooling at the thought of this food festival which is back in Toronto for the third year in a row.

There are all different types of mac & cheese for you to try from over 50 different vendors. There are some new activities this year including a Cheese Market, a Kid’s Village and many more.

You can also watch people compete for a $5000 cash price when they vie for the Catelli People’s Choice Award for Mac and Cheese.

The festival takes place at Ontario place. Admission is FREE but you will need to pay for food.

I get that. But you should really give this event a try.

The Toronto Festival of Clowns isn’t meant to give you nightmares, but rather to showcase the incredible talent of some world class clowns.
