Welcome to Things to do in Toronto! It’s Thursday, November 13, 2025, and Oly Bennet reporting in, buzzing with anticipation because this city’s got more energy than a Stanley Cup overtime! Right now, Toronto is crisp but not freezing—the kind of weather that makes you debate for ten minutes whether to wear a hat or risk the stylish shiver. The leaves are vintage-gold and the air smells like the prelude to every great adventure.

Toronto’s streets are already hopping thanks to the Digital Customer Experience Summit wrapping up at the Hyatt Regency, bringing in waves of digital wizards and business minds thinking big. If you spot anyone frantically typing on a MacBook or sporting a lanyard, pitch them your wild idea for a toaster-race startup—the mood’s collaborative and caffeinated!

Culture vultures, set your GPS to the North Building for “FRANK with Danila Kozlovsky.” No ordinary show, this is a revelation in music and storytelling with one of Russia’s most magnetic artists. According to Show One Productions, it’s tonight at 8—expect history, song, and more charisma than an espresso-fueled street performer.

Are you ready for sequins and sass? The Toronto Burlesque Festival kicks off today at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre, featuring legends like Bettie Bombshell and Judith Stein. Whether you’re obsessed with cabaret or just love an excuse to shout “bravo!” every five minutes, this is your ticket to see Toronto’s most dazzling side.

Holiday fanatics, the Distillery Winter Village launches today! Picture Victorian buildings dressed up like the North Pole, endless twinkle lights, and cozy glühwein stalls just waiting for your Instagram story. This market goes until January, but the opening night is prime—romantic dates, festive photos, and enough holiday spirit to make Santa jealous.

Families, there’s an all-day play paradise at Harbourfront’s KidSpark, courtesy of the Ontario Science Centre. It’s interactive, it’s educational, and it’s absolutely free—just the thing to keep little ones awestruck like they’ve spotted a unicorn on the subway.

For the nocturnal crowd, the city’s bars are humming with post-conference banter and festival revelers—try the newly opened River Owl on Ossington, where cocktail alchemy meets local art. AND, rumour has it, the TTC just sped up service along the Lakeshore line, so hopping between events is smoother than a pro hockey powerplay.

Before you dash, grab a mandatory selfie with the new light art installation at Harbourfront—ask anyone about it and they’ll tell you it’s Toronto’s answer to the Northern Lights (no snow pants required).

Local tip: If you ride streetcars, always step on at the rear doors where the locals board—just tap your card and look casual. You’ll blend right in and skip any tourist bottlenecks.

Looking ahead, tomorrow brings even more magic: the First Light at the Toronto Botanical Garden Holiday Market opens with eco-gifts and live music, plus the Burlesque Festival gets even wilder. So tune in for Friday’s episode when Oly Bennet will be on the hunt for Toronto’s quirkiest competitions—and maybe a holiday food fight.
