TorontoRentals
End of January in Toronto? Cue the food and drink events. This weekend is the start of the Winterlicious festival, where you can attend some pretty cool culinary events and eat in some of the city’s best restaurants, plus the always awesome Roundhouse Craft Beer Fest, where beer aficionados will be dressed in retro ski gear. This weekend is also the start of the Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery’s winter exhibition and there’s free outdoor skating on Sunday. Just a few of so many things happening in Toronto this weekend, January 29-31.
Winterlicious

Fellow foodies of Toronto, get your fill of some of the best grub in town, plus culinary experiences you wouldn’t otherwise have access to, like the art of curing charcuterie. That’s right, it’s an art. Winterlicious starts Friday and runs until February 11. (Love food? Read our Flavours of Toronto series.) Check online for tickets as many of the events and restaurants sell out fast. Also, bring your wallet stacked with cash, it ain’t cheap. But it’s worth it.
When to go: Friday, various times, until Feb. 11
Where at? various locations, check website
Tickets: prices vary by event
