Spring markets are back, and GLB is kicking things off with its Hop n’ Shop from 12 to 4 p.m. The afternoon market brings together a lineup of local vendors, from handmade goods to snacks and small-batch finds, plus food pop-ups like dumplings, sausages and craft beer cupcakes to keep you full. Honey Locust will be playing life from 1 to 4 p.m., so you can sip and browse at the same time. There’s also a free pysanky (Ukranian Easter egg decorating) workshop, along with face painting and an Easter Bunny appearance. Admission is free!
Good Friday Trivia Night

Saturday, April 4
Easter Mrkt
Location: Mimico Square, 2445 Lake Shore Blvd. W
This free, outdoor market runs from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and is all about shopping local. There will be baked goods, handmade finds, and artisan vendors, all set by Etobicoke’s waterfront. The Easter Bunny will also be popping by from 12 to 2 p.m., so bring your family and friends along. It’s an easy, community-style market where you and your loved one can wander, snack, and support small businesses. Free admission for all.
Bunny Yoga
Location: 539 A Mount Pleasant Rd.
If your dream workout involves cute, fluffy animals, then this is the place for you. It’s a low-key yoga class where actual bunnies roam around while you stretch, making for a relaxing and soothing experience as the friendly bunnies explore your mat. It’s beginner-friendly and all about the vibes rather than perfecting each yoga pose. Spots tend to fill up quickly so book ahead on Yoga Kawa’s website and tickets start at $50, with various time slots for Saturday. The times are as follows: 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., 2:15 to 3:15 p.m., and 4 to 5 p.m.
Hassan Phills: Eidiot Mubarak
Location: Meridian Hall, 1 Front St. E
If you’re looking for a comedy show this weekend, Hassan Phills is bringing his Eidiot Mubarak show to his hometown. The 90-minute set mixes stand-up with a lineup of guest comedians, plus a few surprise cameos. It leans into cultural humour, nostalgia, and community, making it feel more personal. Tickets range from about $55 to $140, depending on the seat. Tickets can be purchased at the event’s official Ticketmaster page.
Sunday, April 5
Tasty Tours: Easter Food and Sweets Tour
Location: Starts at Kensington Market
The Easter edition of this tour takes visitors through Kensington Market for a guided stroll with stops at local favourites. You’ll be able to try a mix of sweet and savoury bites, while learning a bit about the neighbourhood’s history and the small businesses that make the tight-knit market what it is today. If you’re more in a dessert mood, there’s also the Easter Chocolate Express, a cozy tasting inside a restored train car. Spots are limited so buy your tickets at Tasty Tours’ website.
Earth Month at Evergreen Brick Works
Location: Evergreen Brick Works, 550 Bayview Ave.
Every Sunday for the month of April, the space is filled with free and low-cost events like hands-on workshops, eco markets, community walks, and art installations, all centred around sustainability. There’s a mix of things happening throughout the day, from egg-decorating with natural dyes and bunny mochi-making to seed planting demos and kids programming in the garden. Most events are free, and you can drop in and explore at your own pace. To learn more about the events, visit the Evergreen Earth Month page on their website.
