It's a long weekend in Toronto - which means half the city is somewhere on the 400, and the rest of you get to actually enjoy it 😝
Less crowds, more city - it’s a good time to get out.
🆕 What’s new in the app:
We’re bringing Luma events into PlanMyFun this week! This means a whole new wave of events from organizers and communities that weren’t in the app before. New event types, new crowds, and new reasons to get out of the house.
We're genuinely excited to keep growing the app and supporting more of the local organizers who make this city the best in the world. More on that soon ❤️
Toronto at a Glance
April 3 - 5
🚦 Queen Street East closure - Sunday: The Beaches Easter Parade means Queen Street East between Fallingbrook Road and Woodbine Avenue will be subject to full road closures from approximately 10am to 4:30pm on Sunday. If you're heading to the east end that afternoon, plan ahead and leave the car at home.
🚧 Ongoing - Gardiner westbound: The westbound Gardiner from Park Lawn Road to Grand Avenue remains reduced to three lanes as part of ongoing repairs. If you're heading west out of downtown, budget extra time.
🚧 Ongoing - Queen Street East: Construction between Davies Avenue and Broadview Avenue continues, with traffic restricted to one eastbound lane. East-west movement in that stretch will be slower than usual.
💡 Pro tip: Good Friday means the LCBO, Beer Store, and most grocery stores are closed all day. Stock up Thursday night if you need to.
🌦️ Friday: Around 14°C - mild but expect some rain.
🧥 Saturday: Cooler, around 7°C with a chance of showers. Layer up - it's still very much a jacket day.
☀️ Sunday: Data still coming in but signs point to clearing skies - fingers crossed for a dry Beaches parade day!
