Monday, February 20 marks Family Day in Toronto and there are tons of fantastic things to do in and around the city this year. Family Day events are a great opportunity to bond with your family (or provide ample distraction if you’re going stir crazy cooped up indoors!)
Best of all—unlike most holidays—there’s no turkey that we’re expected to cook or presents we need to buy for extended family and friends. Nope, this is a weekend devoted entirely to the ones we love the most, leaving us with all the more time to hang out and have fun.
Whether you’re looking to get out and enjoy the fresh winter air or stay cozy and warm indoors, there’s something for all ages in Toronto!
