Toronto Events at a Glance (February 14, 2026)
Here are some popular things you can do in Toronto over this Family Day long weekend (Feb 14–16, 2026) and into next week, with descriptions, locations, and the best available ticket info.
Quick note on the Distillery Winter Festival
The Distillery Winter Village (Toronto’s “Distillery winter festival”) usually runs through the holiday season into early January, not mid‑February, so it is typically not operating this Family Day weekend. It’s held in the Distillery District, with paid evening admission on peak dates and separate paid food/drink vendors. Recent general admission has been in the mid‑teens per adult plus tax, with premium ticket tiers at higher prices, but you’ll need to confirm exact dates and prices for the 2026–27 season when they’re announced later in the year on the official site.
