Fun things to do in Toronto November & December 2016

Roses are red, violets are blue, Santa's coming and he's coming for you. I remember the winter of 2015 because it started out so gentle. Temperatures were moderate and snow was unheard of, my goodness, it comes to me so plainly like it was just yesterday, Wow, usually my memory is not that good, and in fact, the rest of the winter of 2015 is still a fog to me, hopefully the upcoming winter season is perfect and here are some some events that can keep you out of the malls during Christmas shopping season.

Winter, what's it good for? Absolutely nothing, say it again.

The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair Fri to Sun, Nov 4-13.
National Women's Show Fri to Sun, Nov 4-6.
Canada's Walk of Fame happened in Oct.
The Gentlemen's Expo at MTCC South Thurs to Sat, Nov 10-12.
Remembrance Day Ceremony Fri, Nov 11.

Winter Magic Illuminite at Y-D Square Sat, Nov 19.
Toronto Santa Claus Parade Sun, Nov 20.
Seasons Christmas Show Fri to Sun, Nov 18-20.
Winter Woofstock Sat to Sun, Nov TBD? Still cute, now indoors - cancelled for 2013, returning in 2014.

Cavalcade of Lights Sat Nov 26. Music and the City lights up Nathan Phillips Square and sets off some fireworks.
CFL Grey Cup at the BMO Field Sun, Nov 27.

Toronto Santa Speedo Run Sat Dec 10? The run will take 2016 off unless someone else gets the run organized.

Toronto Comicon Fan Days Holiday Show Sat, Dec 10. At the MTCC.
Lowes Toronto Christmas Market in the Distillery District Fri Nov 28 - Sun Dec 18.

Kensington Winter Solstice/Festival of Lights Wed, Dec 21. A parade and a fire show.

New Years Eve Celebration Thurs Dec 31 from 8 pm to midnight with Toronto's largest dance and skating party - with some exciting fireworks and live bands.

And the next day is the Toronto Polar Bear Dip Sun, Jan 1, otherwise known as the Sunnyside swim.

Remember, after a cold Canadian winter the beauty of spring blossoms and the coming heat of summer.

When is the next motorcycle and car show anyway? This time I know it's the North American International SuperShow January TBD at the Toronto International Centre.
