Welcome to “Things to do in Toronto!” It’s Sunday, July 20, 2025, and we’re excited to guide you through the city’s pulse today.
Toronto is alive with summer energy—mild temperatures, plenty of sunshine, and just a gentle breeze make for perfect exploring weather. The air quality is ideal for outdoor activities, so whether you’re strolling the waterfront or café-hopping downtown, the city feels fresh and vibrant. Last night’s demonstration in the Harbourfront neighborhood left a notable mark, but today’s mood is pure anticipation for fun, culture, and discovery[2].
Let’s jump into the day’s hotspots:
- Sports fans, the Toronto Blue Jays take on the San Francisco Giants at Rogers Centre at 12:05 PM. Grab a ticket, soak up the stadium atmosphere, and cheer for the home team[10].
- For an eclectic family-friendly pick, the grand opening celebration of Biidaasige Park continues in the Port Lands today. The event runs from 11 AM to 5 PM and promises music, activities, and nature walks in this beautifully revitalized waterfront park—shuttle and TTC access make it an easy outing[5].
- Culture lovers, don’t miss the “Candlelight Open Air: The Best of Bridgerton on Strings” concert at Hart House at 8:45 PM. The magical string arrangements under the stars bring Regency elegance right to the heart of Toronto[7].
- If you’re in the mood for discovery, join a guided walking or bike tour: options include food adventures through Kensington Market and Chinatown, or the all-time favorite “Show Me The City” tour, celebrated for its mix of hidden gems and city icons[1][9].
- Nightlife calls too: dance the night away at Lee’s Palace for the whimsical Shrek Rave, or immerse yourself in indie music at The Danforth Music Hall and Monarch Tavern, where local and international acts light up the stage[4].
Taking a look at what’s new around the city: Biidaasige Park isn’t just today’s event—it’s Toronto’s newest green space, offering a fresh view of the evolving Port Lands waterfront. TTC routes 72D and 114, as well as shuttle buses from City Hall, give easy access to this major new attraction[5]. For foodies, new eateries are popping up in the Fashion District—watch for grand openings this afternoon, or revisit favorites along Esplanade St. for classic fare[3].
No trip to Toronto is complete without a visit to the CN Tower or a ferry ride to Toronto Island for unbeatable city views and a cool retreat from the heat[3][6]. For museum lovers, the Royal Ontario Museum’s dinosaur fossils and global treasures, or the mind-bending exhibits at the Museum of Illusions, should not be missed[3][9].
Local tip: Skip long streetcar waits on Queen’s Quay by hopping on a waterfront bike share to zip past traffic. Don’t forget—Toronto’s diverse neighborhoods (like Kensington or St. Lawrence Market) reveal the city’s heart best on foot or two wheels.
Looking ahead, tomorrow brings open-air movie nights and the start of Toronto’s annual International BuskerFest. Tune in again for your daily lowdown and discover more of what makes Toronto tick. Enjoy your Sunday out in the city!
