If, like Ferris Bueller, you peaked in the ’80s, this weekend is your chance to relive those glory days with a quote-along to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. If that doesn’t tickle your fancy, get with the times and see Kygo play on Friday night or watch crazy people run outdoors in the winter. It’s all part of the strange and wonderful events happening in Toronto this weekend, January 22-24.

MEC Toronto Race One
MEC’s first race of the year takes runners along the Martin Goodman Trail. Cheer them on or judge them for running in the winter, but either way, it’s a decent thing to watch on a Sunday morning. Runners get cookies and bananas at the finish line, in case you need incentive to lace up your running shoes. There’s a 10K and a 5K.
When to go: Sunday, 9 am
Where at? Martin Goodman Trail, starts at the Legion, finish line at Lakeshore Blvd. tennis courts
Tickets: $15 in advance, $25 day-of
