Want to peruse through 150 different historically and culturally significant buildings in Toronto? Well, now you can with Doors Open this weekend. The theme for this year’s event is “Creators, Makers and Innovators” and includes a slew of new, old and revamped buildings that are open to the public to explore. The event began in 2000 and has drawn more than two million visitors to 600 different locations within the city. This would be a good choice for those looking for a bit of culture this weekend.
Is steampunk your thing? How about anime, maybe manga? Well if you are a true fan, you already know about the epic event that is Anime North happening this weekend in Toronto. This massive convention will be held at three different locations this year including the Toronto Congress Centre, the Doubletree International Plaza Hotel and the Sheraton Airport Hotel. It is a celebration of anime, art and culture in Toronto with an expected draw of close to 20,000. Did we mention, most of those attendees will be dressed in cosplay? Even if you aren’t a huge anime, this event is unique and a must-see for anyone looking to do something a little different in Toronto.
