We are so excited and honoured that you are coming to Toronto to celebrate with us! We have put together some of our favourite attractions in Toronto, and near the venue in the Grey Highlands and Georgian Bay counties. We encourage you to look on your own as well as there is so much to see! Looking forward to celebrating together.

The Canadian National Exhibition is one of the biggest fairs in Canada running from August 16 September 2nd. Filled with rides, concerts, and exhibits, it's a Toronto summer staple and fun for any age. Check out the website for tickets and more details.
One of Toronto's most vibrant neighbourhoods, Kensington is full of artists, vendors, second-hand stores, and a huge selection of food and drink. It's definitely worthwhile spending an afternoon browsing shops, and across the park is Toronto’s oldest Shul's, The Keiver, and Anshei Minsk.
If you are there on the last Sunday in August, its pedestrian Sunday which they shut down the street for and the market really comes alive! A nice addition is to check out Queen Street West (between Simcoe and Bathurst), and you can even take Queen Street to the Trinity Bellwoods Park neighbourhood.

It's filled with cute shops, and cafes, and always has events on! A short walk away is St Lawrence Market, over 200 years old its filled with over 120 vendors and an opportunity to experience some unique and high-quality foods and produce!

A collection of Islands across the lake from downtown Toronto, it's a beautiful and peaceful day trip. The islands are known for their biking paths, a family-friendly theme park, and some of the best beaches in the city. Hop on a ferry from the Jack Layton Ferry Terminal, or grab a water taxi to take you across the harbor.

A reminder that all weekend guests must vacate the property between 10-3 on Sunday. We recommend any of these stops for a great local day trip in stunning nature.
A sweet town comprised of one main street we recommend you stop through on your way to another town, see the incredible Art in the back patio of ARTSONTEN gallery, and grab a coffee at SavvyCo.
A sweet town with a historic downtown core filled with shops and artists. There is also a beautiful harbor on Georgian Bay and natural trails that are connected to the city that is worth exploring. To book any activities and find out more check out their website
