Toronto is coming alive.
Last week we walked past the friendly faces of patio goers and despite not even being on the patio ourselves - we couldn’t help but savour the moment..
There's something about this city in the spring that just gets you.
And that’s exactly why we built PlanMyFun. Not to give you another app to scroll through - but to make sure that when the city is buzzing like this, you actually know where to show up.
So stop scrolling - and start showing up ❤️
Toronto at a Glance
April 10-12
🏒 Big Saturday traffic - Leafs + Jays both at home: The Jays play at 3:07pm and the Leafs play at 7pm. Two games, same Saturday, and overlapping windows around the downtown core. If you're heading anywhere near the waterfront or Entertainment District on Saturday, plan for much heavier traffic and slower transit from roughly 2pm through midnight.
🚧 Ongoing - Gardiner westbound: The westbound Gardiner from Park Lawn Road to Grand Avenue remains reduced to three lanes. Still ongoing - budget extra time if you're heading west out of downtown.
🚧 Ongoing - Queen Street East: Construction between Davies Avenue and Broadview Avenue continues, with one eastbound lane in effect. East-west movement through that stretch remains slower than usual.
🌧️ Friday: Around 5°C with a 75% chance of rain - dress for it and lean into indoor plans. Perfect excuse to spend a few hours at the One of a Kind Show.
🧥 Saturday: Around 8°C and dry - cooler but no rain. Layer up and you'll be fine outside. STACKT Block Party is very doable.
☀️ Sunday: Shaping up to be the best day of the three - slightly warmer and looking clear. Save your outdoor time for Sunday. The walk over to The Great Hall for the Art Crawl will actually be a pleasant one.
