Every year Church Street transforms into the city’s craziest block party. The pedestrian only boulevard opens at 6:30pm and thousands dress in the spookiest costumes to fill the streets. This party reaches 6 blocks along Church street. The Village’s shops, cafes and bars are open all night long.
Known as Toronto’s largest downtown greenspace, Trinity Bellwoods is located at 790 Queen Street West. This park has lots of trees, dogs and hangouts. It is hard in downtown Toronto to find a place to watch the changing leaves, but Trinity Bellwoods is a great spot.
