The biggest display, accessible from the downtown core, remains the Ashbridges Bay yearly fireworks in the Beaches, with over 2,000 fireworks blasted off over a 14 minute period. The spectacle is set for May 21 starting at 9:45 p.m. and can be viewed from the comfort of the sand anywhere along the shoreline.

Among the dazzlingly displays, expect a whole lot of burning schoolhouse whistles, sparkler Instas and barking puppers. https://www.blogto.com/city/2018/05/victoria-day-fireworks-toronto-2018/ Artfest Toronto hosts 2 outdoor art and craft shows.

https://www.agakhanmuseum.org/programs/doors-open-2018 Toronto does have its unused subway.. This site is a place that you’ve likely seen before, but not as a TTC customer. Bay Lower has been closed to the public since 1966 but has been used many times as a major “Hollywood North” prop, dressed to look like an American subway station. When Line 2 officially opened in 1966, Bay Lower was in full use. Canada Life Building Canada Life's majestic building is designed to symbolize the company's stability. At 17 stories and 276 feet, it was the tallest building on University Avenue when it was completed on March 15, 1931. The weather beacon which forecasts approaching weather systems and temperature changes was added in 1951. In a neo-classical or Beaux Arts style, the lobby is impressive with many interesting features, including the company's original brass plaque embedded in the floor. The tower room, on the 17th floor, was originally designed as an observation room for the public and is now opened exclusively for Doors Open each year. Billy Bishop Airport It's been almost 80 years since the first commercial passenger flight landed at Billy Bishop Airport on September 8, 1939, carrying American bandleader Tommy Dorsey and his swing band. The airport was also the home of Canadian and Norwegian air forces who trained there during WWII, and nearby was the base of commercial operations for WWI heroes Billy Bishop and William Barker who started their 'flying boat' business in the harbour following their tours of duty.
