Thrill-Seeking Toronto: Blue Jays Fever, Torontohenge, and a Weekend of Autumn Wonders


Listen Later

Welcome all you explorers, thrill-seekers, and fun-lovers to Things to do in Toronto for Friday, October 24, 2025! This is your high-voltage guide, Oly Bennet—of course, sporting my Blue Jays jersey, a camera slung over my shoulder, and a genuine fixation on the weirdest, wildest experiences Toronto can serve up. Today, the city is absolutely buzzing: Blue Jays fever is at DEFCON 1, the sun’s peeking in and out of golden autumn clouds, and you can smell both pumpkin spice and pop-corned anticipation hanging thick in the air.

Let’s get you plugged into Toronto's current vibe. We’re dipping into perfect hoodie weather, highs around 15°C, and tonight’s forecast calls for a drama-filled sky as the Jays swing into World Series action. Thousands of fans are expected at Nathan Phillips Square where the city is hosting a mammoth free Blue Jays World Series Watch Party, featuring a giant outdoor screen, live music, and Blue Jays trivia between innings. Bring your rally towels and unmistakable T-dot energy, because this is hometown pride on turbo mode—according to Secret Toronto, it's about as electrifying as Toronto gets without an actual thunderstorm.

And if you’re searching for a spectacle that'll bedazzle your Instagram, wait for Torontohenge tomorrow—when the sun drops right between the skyscrapers, turning downtown into a flaming corridor of light. The best spots for a snap are Wellington, King, Adelaide and Richmond West. It only happens twice a year: blink and you’ll literally miss the glow!

Want some superstar harmonies with your baseball? Tomorrow night, Rogers Centre isn’t just ground zero for Game 2—the Jonas Brothers take the stage for a special Stand Up To Cancer tribute. This’ll combine world-class sport and music, giving concertgoers a reason to wave foam fingers and phone flashlights at the same time.

Those itching for high-octane family fun, gear up for the Boo Barn at Riverdale Farm—pumpkin carving, crafts, and face painting. Admission is free, and the proceeds help keep this urban farm thriving. Meanwhile, canine cuteness explodes at Howl’oween at The Bentway, where Toronto’s pups strut costumes more creative than your average superhero flick.

For nightlife heroes: pick your adventure from a dizzying menu. There’s “Candlelight: A Haunted Evening of Halloween Classics” at two venues, Hasan Minhaj and Ronny Chieng bringing their comedic duel to Roy Thomson Hall, and the “Funk-O-Ween 20th Anniversary Halloween Party” guaranteed to funkify your soul at Wiggle Room. According to ConcertsTO, if you can't find your groove in Toronto tonight—a citywide costume malfunction may be to blame!

On the food front, Miku Toronto is rolling out a World Series pre-game menu, with sushi so gorgeous you’ll want to frame it before eating it. Chef Michael Acero’s culinary curveballs are available from 4 to 7 pm, perfect for a lead-up dinner before you aim for the grand slam at Nathan Phillips or the game itself.

Transit tip: The TTC is running extra service tonight to help fans get to and from World Series festivities safely—so save your Uber rides for later and tap your PRESTO cards with pride.

Need a true Toronto tidbit? Did you know Toronto’s official motto is “Diversity Our Strength”? Nowhere is that more visible than in this weekend’s event mix: world-class baseball, giant puppets parading for Night of Dread, haunted mazes lit up by over a million lights at Sherway Gardens, and comedy galore. According to Eventbrite, there are still tickets left for the Premium Desi Comedy Show tonight at Society Clubhouse—grab your spot quick, and prepare for belly laughs.

For tomorrow, brush off that camera—Torontohenge glows at sunset—or catch the Jonas Brothers if you scored a golden ticket, or dive headlong into a parade of giant puppets at Night of Dread. Toronto’s adventure dial remains stuck at “epic,” so tune in tomorrow for more wild picks.
