There is always so many fun and unique events happening in Toronto every weekend! For me, most weekends are busier than the weekdays. They are jam packed full of To-do lists, fun meetings, and events I just need to attend.

From burgers to vintage, there is something for everyone to enjoy this Mother's Day weekend. Here is a list of some of the best happenings in the city this weekend!

Shopping
Parkdale Flea Market is on Sunday. Take advantage of the sunshine and grab mom and head over to Parkdale to browse among the vintage and collectible stalls while enjoying some food on the go!

The Gladstone Flea begins this Sunday. One Sunday a month during the summer, Gladstone partners with a fashion and/or lifestyle expert to curate and handpick vendors to create a unique shopping experience. This Sunday's experts are Casie Stewart and April Wozny.
