When to go

Toronto offers distinct seasonal experiences depending on your budget and interests. June to August brings warm summer weather with highs around 25°C (76°F), drawing the largest crowds for patio season and major events like Pride Toronto, the Toronto Fringe Festival, and the Toronto Caribbean Carnival.
