What to do and see in Niagara, Canada: The Best Events
We've heard Toronto described as "New York City run by the Swiss," and it's true—you can find world-class theater, shopping and restaurants here, but the sidewalks are clean and the people are friendly. The best place to start is literally at the top—the CN Tower, the tallest freestanding structure in the Western Hemisphere.

4.5 based on 16 reviews
Over three weeks, Toronto explodes with the fast and vibrant rhythms of Calypso, Soca, Reggae, Chutney, Steel Pan, and Brass bands. Over a million people take over the streets and venues to dance alongside the passionate dancers wearing eye-popping and colorful costumes. The music styles integrate the staple Calypso beat that has been a part of the festival since its first debut in 1967 and newer music styles like Soca. The main events include the Carnival Ball, and the Grand Parade (the largest Caribbean parade in North America).

Reviewed By N543CDbrianb - Toronto, Canada
This is a big agricultural fair. Attended by city folk who come to gawk and hold their noses at the barnyard smells, but this is the real deal - there are the farmers and breeders here from around the world. Most of the stages are held by the livestock auctions and prize ceremonies. A different animal species is featured each day. There is a big commercial market show of food booths and crafts and all the regular junk of a craft show... Look for the small craftsmen shops - hand made goods, farmers direct sales of jams, jelly, meats, leather goods etc. The evenings are for the horse show - - jumping, rodeo, carriages, dressage - you name it. The horse show is extra and is ticketed seating. There are a few upscale bars and eateries associated with the horse show - but hard to get in.... A must see for every Canadian.
4. Canadian National Exhibition
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 225 reviews
A showground, fairground, carnival, concerts, horse show, farmyard, garden show, food hall, restaurants, and a fabulous Mardi Gras parade are all rolled into one for the Canadian National Exhibition, held in Toronto each year. For 18 amazing days leading up to and including Labor Day on the first Monday in September, about 1.5 million visitors flock to Canada’s largest fair, The Ex, in Exhibition Place by the shores of Lake Ontario. It's a far cry from its beginnings in 1879 to promote farming, industry, and arts as today the fair acts as a showcase for the nation. It is a fabulous annual tradition to head to the city for amazing, old-fashioned fun for all the family and, for many, it is seen as a celebration of the end of summer.
