Toronto Weekender

Power outages, snowstorms, blood moons – you’ve been through a lot in the last four days. So it’s a good thing you’ve got a long weekend to make up for it because whatever you choose to do with your Good Friday, it better not be work-related. Especially when we’ve scoured the city to give you the best 25 ways you can spend the next 96 hours

After what seems like a winter straight out of Game of Thrones, we suggest you take full advantage of a few days off that seem intent on spending themselves in the teens. So sit back, settle in, and start selecting from the nearly 30 ways you can spend the next four days

Remember your friend, the sun? Well, you’re going to be seeing a lot more of each other – so get used to it. Forget work, this weekend is all about play ‘cause it’s going to be above zero for the next four days for the first time since September and we’ve got nearly two dozen ways for you to celebrate

So here we are again. It’s the weekend, it’s spring, and it’s still damn cold. Well, we can’t help with the temperature outside, but we can make sure that everything you do over the next four days happens to be one of the hottest events Toronto has to offer

It’s the first official weekend of spring – do you really need more incentive than that to get out and treat Toronto like your own personal playground? We’re kicking winter to the curb no matter what the thermometer says, ‘cause we’re heading into the best six months this city has to offer and we’re not about to waste it

The Irish are taking over the city – and we’re happy to let them. So if you’re not into wearing green, this probably isn’t The Weekender for you, ‘cause we’ve rounded up over 20 different ways you can let your inner leprechaun out between now and Monday at midnight

Spring has sprung. We don’t care what the thermometers have to say – if it’s past Mardi Gras, then the party has officially begun. Put a smile on your face, leave your excuses at home, and step up your social life with any one of the more than 20 hot events we’re delivering right to your doorstep (well, your monitor at least)

So it’s going to be cold again this weekend – so what? We say bring it on polar vortex. Remember our Olympic slogan for the past two weeks: #WeAreWinter. Damn right. So forget sitting in and complaining, we’ve stuffed this edition of The Weekender with over 20 different events to keep your blood flowing and your social life booming

Alright, the sun shone on Wednesday and for a brief moment we all remembered that this season doesn’t last forever. You know what else doesn’t? Youth, beauty, one-night stands, and the ability to spend your weekend just how you want to. March is just around the corner and we promise the fastest way to get there is by having the best time now
