Concerts Tonight in Toronto

Things to do in Toronto today

The fastest way to see what is on in Toronto today is to scroll the event list above, which auto-sorts by start time. Same-day tickets are usually available for theater, comedy, and most concert venues outside of the very biggest arena tours, and Massey Hall, Roy Thomson Hall, and the Princess of Wales all release rush or held seats a few hours before curtain.

For Maple Leafs, Raptors, or Blue Jays games, last-minute resale through verified sellers is the most reliable route since these rarely have walk-up availability. Toronto runs late on most nights of the week.

Comedy clubs like Yuk Yuk's and Second City typically have a 10:30 or 11 pm second show on Friday and Saturday. Live music spills out of King West and Ossington rooms past midnight, and the club circuit on Adelaide West does not really get going until 11.

Streetcars run all night on the main routes (King, Queen, College, Dundas, Bathurst), and the TTC subway runs until roughly 1:30 am with Blue Night bus service after that. Midweek nights are noticeably calmer.

Tuesday and Wednesday are when you can usually walk up to a small indie show, grab a last-minute seat at a Mirvish theater, or catch a comedy try-out night for under twenty dollars. Thursday is the dividing line — by then the weekend programming has started, patio lines are back, and the venues are filling up.

If you want a quieter version of Toronto, aim midweek. If you want the full energy, target Thursday through Saturday.
