Happening Weekend: Pillow Stories!

Toronto Weekend Events Listing for April 1 - 3, 2016

It's been a long week for me, so I'm very happy that the weekend is here. I've been fighting a cold this whole week, which is why I haven't posted anything lately (so sorry). But now that I'm feeling better I have plenty of choices of some great things happening in Toronto this weekend.

Lifestyle: 
Need to get out some friendly aggression this weekend? Then Pillow Fight Toronto 2016 was made for you! Head on down to Nathan Phillips Square this weekend and enjoy some pillow thrashing with over 2000 other people! Don't forget your pillow!

The Toronto Storytelling Festival kicks off today and runs until April 10th. Events are happening within different venues with both national and international artists.

The Canadian Film Festival began on Wednesday and ends Saturday night. Lots of homegrown talent will be showing their cinematic masterpieces.
