Fun & Free Things To Do in Toronto This Weekend (March 6–8)
Fun & Free Things To Do in Toronto This Weekend (March 6–8)
Looking for fun and free(ish) things to do in Toronto this weekend? We’ve got three unique picks happening across the city - from art crawls and glow-in-the-dark creativity to an International Women’s Day market celebrating local entrepreneurs.
If you’re trying to actually leave the group chat and make a plan, here’s a good place to start.
1. Geary Art Crawl
📍 Geary Street
🗓 March 7 & 8
The Geary Art Crawl is back this weekend - and if you haven’t walked this strip in a while, this is your sign.
Once known mostly for Kitch (OGs know), Geary Street has quietly become one of Toronto’s most interesting creative pockets. This fast-growing industrial strip now hosts artist-run workshops, open studios, live music, food pop-ups, and cozy spaces worth discovering.
Expect:
Local artists opening their doors
Workshops and small-batch creative activations
Music and DJs
Great independent food and drink
It’s free to attend, and it’s one of the best ways to tap into Toronto’s independent art scene without spending a fortune.
👉 Great for: Creative types, low-key weekend wandering, and anyone who appreciates a good neighbourhood glow-up.
2. Glow-in-the-Dark Paint Pouring at Artbox Studio
📍 Artbox Studio Gallery
🗓 March 6, 7 & 8 (multiple classes available)
If you’re looking for something hands-on this weekend in Toronto, this one’s different.
Artbox Studio Gallery is hosting glow-in-the-dark paint pouring sessions where you’ll learn the basics of fluid art during a guided two-hour workshop. Participants can pour on canvas (or even on a KAWS bear sculpture!!) for a personalized, one-of-a-kind piece inspired by iconic pop art aesthetics.
Expect:
A guided intro to paint pouring techniques
Glow-in-the-dark pigments
A relaxed, creative environment
Your own finished piece to take home
It’s not free, but it’s affordable - and you leave with something you actually made.
👉 Great for: Date nights, friend hangs, or anyone who wants a creative outlet that doesn’t involve staring at a screen.
3. Hall of Femme – Toronto Sunday Market
📍 Toronto Sunday Market
🗓 March 8
Celebrate International Women’s Day in Toronto by supporting women-owned businesses across the city.
Hall of Femme, hosted by Toronto Sunday Market, brings together local vendors, makers, and entrepreneurs for a market dedicated to spotlighting female-led brands and creators.
Expect:
Handmade goods
Local fashion and design
Art and lifestyle products
A strong sense of community
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to spend March 8, this is a great opportunity to shop local and discover new women-owned brands in Toronto.
👉 Great for: Supporting local, thoughtful gifting, and community-focused weekend plans.
