If nothing appeals to you there, you can use official festival and events websites such as https://www.festivalsandeventsontario.ca/ for residents of Ontario. You should find everything from commerce, fairs, and art festivals.
Best city to travel to during weekends
Vancouver is the place to go if you are looking for a beautiful city to visit during a weekend break. Vancouver is a city in the province of British Columbia, one of Canada's most ethnically diverse cities. There you will meet people who come from different places all around the world.
The city is also surrounded by mountains, so if sightseeing, hiking and being adventurous are activities you enjoy, you will have a great time. On top of having beautiful scenery, the city is known for having the freshest and tastiest seafood. You can expect to spend more on a weekend trip than in another city, but it is worth it.
