Welcome to Things to Do in Toronto—I’m Ollie Bennet, your globe-trotting, sports-obsessed, offbeat adventure guide! Today is Sunday, October 26, 2025, and Toronto’s fall mood is in full swing—crisp breezes, vibrant autumn foliage, and just a hint of that big-city magic. If you’re out strolling (or toddling, or sipping), you’ll notice the city is buzzing with a cozy, festive energy—Halloween’s lingering, Dia de los Muertos is just warming up, and there’s a sense that everyone’s ready for a little mischief.

Now, let’s talk today’s can’t-miss happenings—because Toronto never does things by halves. For the night owls nursing yesterday’s thrills, the DARK FANTASY H84 Halloween Bash wrapped up at 2am, but the city’s still vibrating. If you missed it, follow H84ent on Instagram for next-level Halloween shenanigans—DJs, rappers, and enough red-lit, smoke-filled drama to last you till next October. Don’t worry, more wild nights are always on the horizon. For those craving a cultural jolt, join the city’s Day of the Dead celebrations at STACKT market—free face painting by Fizz Mobile, Mariachi Fuego, high-flying Lucha Libre wrestling, and a mercado bursting with Latin food and art until late. This is Toronto’s multicultural heart in full technicolor.

If you’re feeling classical—or a little eerie—check out Candlelight: Halloween Classics at the Royal, where hundreds of flickering candles set the mood for spooky orchestrations. Family vibe? STACKT’s kid-friendly “silly, wiggly, bright & squiggly” monsters are hosting a not-so-spooky bash for the tykes, with crafts, giggles, and all the goofy fun city parents rave about. Outdoorsy types, grab your camera and head to High Park for a “Fall for Toronto” Meetup—autumn leaves, Grenadier Pond, and that golden-hour glow.

On the city beat: Toronto Ski and Snowboard Show is in town, so you can daydream about winter adventures between sipping warm cider. And if you’re a foodie, keep an eye out for new pop-ups—Toronto chefs are always one step ahead, especially during festival season. On the practical side, the TTC is running smoothly, but late-night riders should double-check schedules for special event service.

Must-do’s for today? Walk the Distillery District for cobblestone charm and maybe a spine-tingling ghost tour. Hit Graffiti Alley for street art that’s wilder than most sports arenas I’ve seen. Snack your way through Kensington Market—trust me, the empanadas are legendary. And for a true local tip—ask any bartender for their favorite neighborhood haunt. Torontonians love a good under-the-radar spot, whether it’s a hidden basement jazz bar or a tiny dumpling joint with cult status.

Fun fact: Did you know Toronto’s Yonge Street was once listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the longest street in the world? It’s not true (sorry, Ontario trivia buffs), but it’s a classic local legend—and a reminder that this city loves a good story.

Looking ahead, tomorrow brings more music, comedy, and culinary surprises. The DARKFIELD immersive theatre experience is opening at STACKT, and our vibrant arts scene never slows down. So get out there, toast to the season, and keep your ears open for tomorrow’s adventures—I’ll be here to guide you through all the quirk, culture, and chaos this city has to offer.
