#1Colonel Sam Smith Skating Trail |
 |
| We thought the warmer weather to start the season would hinder the number of views we get from people searching for our outdoor skating trail but nothing can be further from the truth. The outdoor skating trail located at Colonel Sam Smith Park in Etobicoke is constantly at the number one list during the Winter season and for good reason. There is nothing more enjoyable than skating the trail with friends and family and then stopping somewhere for hot chocolate afterwards. |
#2Toronto Ribfest |
|
| The number one ribfest in the entire area and bigger than most in the USA is our “little” ribfest that takes place in Etobicoke.Toronto Ribfest at Centennial Park is a tradition for many that has lasted years and with good reason. With delicious ribs in addition to all kinds of other tasty options there is no doubt that people put Toronto Ribfest in their calendars to start the year. |
#3Etobicoke Farmers Markets |
 |
| If you love farmers markets than you’ll need to put Etobicoke on your radar.

Markets such as the ones that take place at Civic Centre, Stonegate, and Sherway Gardens, there’s a farmers market near you! |
#4The Singing Lady Consignment Emporium |
 |
| If The Singing Lady Consignment Emporium is a mainstay on our list for several reasons. The merchandise is always changing so you’ll never know when you’ll come across that treasure you’ve been looking for. The staff is also very knowledgeable and always there to lend a helping hand. |

#6Centennial Park Skiing and Snowboard Centre |
 |
| The Centennial Park Skiing and Snowboard Centre might be suffering a bit from the lack of snow this year but when it does come expect pros and novices alike to come to the hill. |
#7MasterCard Centre for Hockey Excellence |
