In Toronto, there's really no shortage of things to do any weekend of the year. There's always parties, events, festivals and art fairs that will keep us busy all weekend long.
This weekend is especially exciting because it's the right weekend before Halloween, since Halloween unfortunately falls on a Tuesday this year. So that means that this weekend is Halloweekend!
Whether you want to party every single night, explore the haunted areas of the city, or do anything but celebrate Halloween, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
