Caribana Festival
The Caribana Festival runs from July 24 to August 7, 2006. Food, music and fun are the order of this festival and if you like reggae, steel drum and calypso music, you'll be in your element.
Bloor West Ukrainian Festival
The Bloor West Ukrainian Festival, taking place in 2006 from August 25 to 27, represents the largest Ukrainian festival in North America, with expected crowds topping 300,000. Aimed at families, the festival admission is free and live entertainment, free pancake breakfasts, Ukrainian and Canadian food kiosks, plus a Saturday parade combine to make this a not-to-be-missed family event.
Toronto Islands
For a minimal charge ($6/adult; $3.50/students between 14 and 18; $2.50/kids under 14), you can take the ferry to the Toronto Islands, where you'll find picnic spots, concessions, bike rentals, tennis courts, beaches, wading pools and amusement areas.
Niagara Falls
One of nature's most powerfully breathtaking scenes is an hour-and-a-half drive from Toronto -- 13 million visitors annually take in the sight and sound of 150 trillion litres of water pouring over the falls every minute.
Stratford Festival
Less than two hours away from Toronto is the town of Stratford, home to a world-class Shakespearean festival. Stratford also offers backstage tours of the theatre, costume warehouse tours and opportunities to meet with the staff and actors.
