The sun finally shows up and Toronto explodes like a spring flower. Suddenly everyone’s on a bike, pushing patio seating, or, in the most über aggressive move available, stepping into shorts like they’re Nelly circa 2002. And while we’re not quite ready to show some leg just yet, we are ready to embrace the bevy of events this city is putting on offer this weekend

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
