toronto events

Every Friday night until November 29th you have the opportunity to experience something unique. From 7:00 – 11:30 PM you can spend you evening roaming the Royal Ontario Museum, exploring the exhibits with a drink in hand, stopping for some delicious bites to eat, listening to some great live music and dance until your heart is content. Friday Night Live is back, and it’s a great way to unwind after a long week.

Tomorrow evening, Toronto’s prestigious art gala Power Ball returns to the city, partnering with Italian fashion house Max Mara for the fourth year in a row. The event, which launched its first annual gala in 1999, is also celebrating its 20th anniversary with a circus themed extravaganza. Led by honourary chair Nancy McCain, the Power Ball takes place tomorrow evening at the Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery at 231 Queens Quay West. The event is set to combine the creative, diverse worlds of visual art, fashion, music, media and more.

Although the Kentucky Derby is world famous and Vancouver has already been home to the Deighton Cup for ten years, Toronto is now slated to officially welcome the first ever Greenwood Stakes Derby this Saturday, May 26. The derby, which is open to guests aged 19 and up, will feature a horse race, along with signature cocktails, arts and fashion. The event takes place at Toronto’s Woodbine Racetrack.

Although September is certainly a month that spells out back to school and back to business, there’s still plenty of fun for those of us based in Toronto. Whether you’re an aspiring comedian or an avid reader, the city offers a cultural or artistic event for just about everyone this month.  

Although the summer months are now behind us, September in Toronto is an exciting and fast-paced time. While we have now bid adieu to Toronto Fashion Week  in Yorkville and are preparing to wrap another season of glitz and glamour at the Toronto International Film Festival, the 6ix is always home to a myriad of activities and special happenings. Whether you’re a beer connoisseur or a collector of handmade trinkets, Real Style has curated a number of events to enjoy in the city this month. 

Whether you’re looking for some design inspiration to dress up your home for the season or just have a plain passion for decorating, the Interior Design Show is an event not to miss. The 18th edition kicks off today and runs until the 24th in the North Building of the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in Toronto.
