October is the spookiest time of year, and luckily in Toronto, there’s no shortage of attractions where you can scare yourself silly. While a typical jaunt to the nearest haunted house may be an annual tradition, there’s a new chilling event that you’re going to want to check out.
Spooky Lagoon’s Toronto Island Stories: Murder at the Lighthouse is the newest haunted production to land in the city. Those brave enough to check it out will hop aboard an eerie boat ride over to the island, while hearing the legendary tale of the murder of John Paul Radelmüller – Gibraltar Point Lighthouse’s most famous keeper. You’ll feel as if you’ve stepped back in time, with storytellers dressed head-to-toe in full 1900s garb. The storytellers will then lead you up to the old lighthouse where it is said Radelmüller’s remains were found.
Tickets to Toronto Island Stories: Murder at the Lighthouse, which is run by Tiki Taxi, are $25 per person. Boats will run every 10 minutes, every weekend until the end of October, beginning at sunset on October 5.

Toronto is a city that loves festivals, so we’re not surprised to see one dedicated to the oldest form of cooking pop up!
This summer, from June 9-11th, a massive BBQ festival will take over Ontario Place. Dubbed the BBQ Eats Festival, the event promises to feature a line-up of the city’s finest BBQ chefs, grilling up ethnic flavours from around the world. RibFest, watch out!
And while the food is the main attraction, there’ll be a huge BBQ showcase to browse, too. At-home BBQ pros can browse the latest and greatest in BBQ equipment, sauces, gadgets, and more, making it Toronto’s largest BBQ consumer show.
But the real reason you should go? It’s completely free. That means, while you’ll have to shell out a few bucks for the drool-inducing BBQ, admittance, cooking classes and workshops will cost you nada!

Toronto winters can be drawn-out, dark, and dreary. Luckily, the Distillery District has partnered with a number of Canadian, European, and American artists to bring a little light into our lives.
From January 27th to March 12th, the Distillery District will literally by lit.
With inspiration from the ever-popular Amsterdam Light Festival, 21 large light sculptures and installations have been scattered throughout the streets, shops, and galleries for the inaugural Toronto Light Festival.
And there are a couple of charity aspects to the event too! Visitors can purchase locks, ranging from $5 to $15, to contribute to two artworks by Toronto Light Festival Creator & Executive Director, Mathew Rosenblatt. All funds raised will go to The Yonge Street Mission. The Mission is also collecting funds online and each time someone donates, two light cannons at the Toronto Light Festival will shift closer and closer – once the goal of $10,000 is reached, the beams will cross and light up in celebration.
Another soon-to-be Instagram favourite installation is Angels of Freedom designed by Israel-based OGE Group. Each time someone uploads a social snap in front of the wings with the hashtag #MillStLights, Mill Street Brewery will donate $1.00 to the Daily Bread Food Bank, plus the snapper will be entered to win Beer for a Year.
What you can’t miss? The interactive, Burning Man-inspired Magic Dance Mirror by Kyle Ruddick, which uses dynamic animated visuals to capture the user’s sweet dance moves and A Dream of Pastures by Toronto-based design team Studio F Minus, which has users peddling away on an old exercise bike to power sound and graphics.
The Toronto Light Festival is open from today to March 12th and is absolutely free to attend. Get a preview of what you can see below.
