Toronto Weekender

November continues to insist on getting between us and the glorious month of December with all its holiday spirit and much-needed time off. But what’s time off in December without some serious time ON in November? And since we don’t want a single November Novice among us, we expect you to start making moves now

We’re mid-Movember and right around the time when all the Christmas fanatics are starting to get that itch in their stockings. But as the weather outside cools down (see: snow), the indoor scenes really start to heat up. Lucky for you, we’re here to make sure you’ve got an iron in the most notable fires. The weekend starts now, Toronto

It's all here. Everything. In fact, this might be the biggest and busiest weekend of the year so far. Yes, Halloween is going to dominate but don't think the Devil's Night and the Day of the Dead aren't offering up their own worthy events

The bad news is that it is the last full weekend of October. The good news is that you still have four days to show this month what you have. And we have put together more than 30 ways for you to do just that

Don’t be overwhelmed – Thursday’s a little aggressive. That’s right, this edition of The Weekender is a little top heavy. But don’t worry, most of what you see happening today will continue right through the next three days

Oh, how we’ve missed that tryptophan haze. Whether you’re staying in the city (rather than visiting your parents) or it’s your one true home, Toronto has everything you need to get you through the next four days. The fifth, however, is up to you. So sit back, settle in, and stop talking turkey – the weekend is officially here

We have 25 events for you to get up to this weekend, but we’d be lying if we didn’t admit that Nuit Blanche is the reason you should reject the temptation to give in to an October Netflix binge. So get out and get wild, the weekend is officially here

Falling in love with fall isn’t hard. Cool wind that isn’t cold. Warm sunshine on changing leaves. Scarves, sweaters, and the shared knowledge that as Torontonians it’s our sacred vow to take advantage of every second we have without snow. We’ve got 35 reasons to stop lamenting summer’s passing, so start paying attention to the season you’re in

We hate to point it out, but fall is finally, actually, officially, definitely, for real here. But at least Toronto is doing its best to keep the events scene as hot as possible. How else could this edition of The Weekender be packed with more than 40 fun things to get up to over the next four days?
