Sunday's yours—brunch, soccer, and a castle to explore
Clear skies, 13°C, and a packed day ahead. Here's what you need to know before you head out.
Grab a light jacket if you're heading outside—it's a crisp 13°C but mainly clear skies all day, and you've got nearly 12 hours of daylight to work with. The UV's at 5, so if you're spending the afternoon in it, sunscreen still matters. Sunset's at 7:06 PM, so plan your evening around that if you're catching something outside.
A couple of heads-ups on the streetcar front: the 301 and 301L on Queen are running detours via Bathurst, Dundas West, and Roncesvalles because of a blocked track. Both the 304 and 504A King have collisions affecting westbound service—the 504A is also handling a medical emergency between King East at Parliament and the Distillery Loop, so give yourself extra time if you're heading that way.
On the local news side: VIA Rail reversed course and will keep serving Guildwood Station in Scarb after all, which is a win if that's your route out of the city. And AFC Toronto just clinched a playoff spot with a 3-0 shutout over Ottawa Rapid—not bad for a Sunday morning if you're following the soccer.
If brunch is calling, BONDST's doing a drag brunch at noon at their event centre, or you could lean into the daytime vibe with a tour of Casa Loma starting at 9:30. Hell's Kitchen's running at the Ed Mirvish at 2:00 if you want Broadway, and there's soccer at York Lions Stadium at 2:00 too—Pacific FC taking on Inter Toronto.
For food: Millie Desserts is back in the city with a new Adelaide Street window if you're craving something sweet. And if you're thinking dinner out, Mott 32 at Shangri-La just got crowned Canada's best Chinese restaurant for 2026—that's the kind of flex worth booking into if you can swing it.
Tonight's loaded. The Soundgarden's playing Evergreen Brickworks at 4:00, Disney's Up in Concert is at Sobeys Stadium the same time, and if you're into punk, Pennywise is at History Toronto at 6:30. The Takes are at The Drake at 7:00 if you want something a little more low-key.
Weather's on your side all day—get out there and make the most of it.
