Toronto—Arts, Music, Events
Maybe it's the weather, maybe the inland location—whatever the case, Toronto gets a bad rap. It's sometimes thought of as a stodgy city, but Canadians can tell you, there's more culture here than almost anywhere in the Northwest. Toronto loves its filmmakers, musicians, artists, and chefs...and celebrates them as often as possible, with events and happenings like the highlighted ones below.
Toronto International Film Festival and the Toronto International Art Fair bring this city into the world spotlight, as celebrities, industry movers-and-shakers, and fans of all types flock to the festival sites...and the media follow. Every city has a film festival these days; the trick is convincing Hollywood to attend—and they do attend this one, in great numbers. However if you don't care about spotting Sandra Bullock or Michael Moore, and you've got kids, you may want to plan a trip around the Sprockets Toronto International Film Festival for Children—one of Toronto's top 30 events, and definitely not something you can find in every city.
