Things to do in Cabbagetown

If you ever find yourself in Cabbagetown bored, no need to worry. There's lots of attractions and events going on to keep you entertained. Some of the best places in the city (let alone in this neighbourhood) to visit include Riverdale farm, where you can submerge yourself in farm life while still technically being downtown. This old Victorian styled farm is stunning to see all four seasons out of the year, not just for the animals, but for the natural beauty of the area, right on the edge of the Don Valley. A cool fact about Riverdale Farm, is that it actually used to be the Toronto Zoo before it was relocated. Old timers will tell you where they used to have the lion and monkey cages. Right beside the farm, is Riverdale hill west, a great place to take your dog for a walk, go for a hike, or try to capture a picture of the city skyline.



 Cabbagetown has quite a few festivals as well, like the Cabbagetown Festival which takes place every second weekend in September, and the Forsythia Festival which takes place on the first Sunday of May. Both of these festivals celebrate the neighbourhood's culture and the arts.
