Welcome to “Things to Do in Toronto”! It’s Sunday, July 6, 2025, and the city is buzzing with classic summer energy. Toronto is waking up to warm temperatures and plenty of sunshine, making it a perfect day to get outside and soak up the best the city has to offer. The air quality is good, so whether you’re planning a stroll downtown or catching a festival, you’ll breathe easy while exploring.

Let’s dive into today’s top events. First up, the annual Salsa on St. Clair festival is in full swing, bringing vibrant Latin music, colourful costumes, and delicious eats to the city’s west end. The neighbourhood’s street party atmosphere is not to be missed, with dance lessons and live performances for all ages creating an irresistible, high-energy vibe[2].

If you’re an art lover, don’t miss Mosaics in Toronto at Yonge/Dundas, where the city’s creative spirit takes centre stage. Hosted by Artventures, this event invites everyone to create or admire mosaic art right in the heart of downtown[5].

For families or anyone seeking a laid-back afternoon, the Toronto Islands are a classic summer escape. Take the short ferry ride over and explore sandy beaches, picnic spots, and beautiful views of the skyline. If you’re looking for more action, Trillium Park is another great outdoor option, offering waterfront paths and plenty of space to unwind[7].

Tonight, get ready for some fun at the Love Island USA Watch Party at Fox and John’s Restaurant + Bar in Liberty Village. It’s the perfect spot to meet fellow fans, enjoy themed cocktails, and watch all the drama unfold on screen in a lively group setting[9].

Now, a quick look at what’s making headlines in the city: Toronto’s public transit scene is staying sharp— the TTC is rolling out a new streetcar safety campaign to keep everyone moving smoothly as crowds pick up[2]. Foodies, take note: Union Station’s TD Union Summer is back, offering new food vendors and live entertainment for a quick bite or a full-on food adventure[7].

For must-do activities, why not tour the iconic Distillery District? Wander its cobblestone streets, browse unique shops, and enjoy an afternoon coffee or gelato[3]. If you’re after a hidden gem, Kensington Market’s two-hour walking tour is the perfect way to discover Toronto’s multicultural flavors and vibrant street art[3]. And if you feel like venturing further, book a Niagara Falls day tour for a scenic adventure that includes winery stops and a boat cruise[1][3].

Local tip: The Toronto Islands ferry is less crowded early in the morning or after 5 p.m.—plan your trip for those times for a smoother experience!
