Toronto Events for November (2026)
November brings the first hints of the holiday season to Toronto, from the Royal Winter Fair to the Santa Claus Parade and the opening of the Distillery Winter Village. Here’s what’s happening around the city this month.
Royal Agricultural Winter Fair: Nov 6–15 at Exhibition Place. You’ll find horse shows, a farm-to-table food hall and a holiday market, and Santa is there for photos Nov 12–15. General admission is about $34.
National Women’s Show: Nov 6–8 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (South Building). It’s a weekend of fashion, beauty, wellness and shopping.
Remembrance Day: Wednesday, Nov 11. Ceremonies are held across the city, including at the Old City Hall cenotaph. Many people pause for a moment of silence at 11 a.m.
Distillery Winter Village: Opens Nov 12 and runs through Jan 3 in the Distillery District. Toronto’s best-known Christmas market brings back its light displays, vendor huts and seasonal food and drink.
Santa Claus Parade: Sunday, Nov 22, starting at 12:30 p.m. The route runs from Christie St. and Bloor St. W. to Front St. and Jarvis St. It’s free to attend, so arrive early for a good spot.
One of a Kind Christmas Show & Sale: Nov 27–Dec 6 at the Enercare Centre. Hundreds of Canadian makers sell gifts, décor and specialty foods, which makes it a good start to holiday shopping.
