I know we’re not supposed to play favourites, but October in Toronto is the best! After a roller coaster of a September, we should finally get crisp fall weather perfect for pumpkin pie (and pumpkin spice lattes, who are we kidding?) It’s a month of starting to live life to the fullest again by (safely) gathering with family and friends to celebrate the bounty of the season.
From Thanksgiving through to Halloween and beyond (oh, we see you, winter holidays), our Savvy Guide to October in Toronto has got the right things to (pumpkin) spice up your month.
The Savvy Guide to October in Toronto

GIVE
Thanks for another Thanksgiving
Why? Thanksgiving seems more meaningful every year, especially after the past 2 1/2 years we’ve all experienced. Maybe this is the year you cook the perfect turkey or this is the year you finally order out for your holiday meal (like you’ve been saying you will for the past 10– here’s where to get Thanksgiving takeout in Toronto)… Maybe this year you try a vegetarian Thanksgiving or go all out with all the turkey and trimmings, we’ve also got ideas for what to do with all those turkey leftovers.

Halloween costumes
Why? In my household, Halloween costumes are decided upon on November 1st of the preceding Halloween. But there can be occasional snags in the planning that requires a last-minute option. Or maybe you’re a spoilsport (also me) who hates getting dressed up but really needs to pull something together. If you’ve lost your Halloween mojo thanks to the pandemic and also reluctance to bring more candy into the house, these easy, last-minute Halloween costume ideas can help you get into the spirit.
