Summer is here and that means that we can look for fun things to do under the stars on these warm and wonderful evenings. Once you’ve arrived in Toronto and booked a bed in, perhaps, the Kensington room (so named after one of our favorite Toronto neighbourhoods) at our BoD fans most favorite downtown Toronto Hostel, you’re ready to enjoy our lovely evenings too!
Check out some of the fun movie nights that are being offered free or nearly free, at multiple indoors or outdoor venues in and around Toronto, the first of which is, of course, our BoD favorite place, the Yonge/Dundas square.
