Welcome to 'Things to Do in Toronto' on this sunny Sunday, June 15, 2025 As we step into the heart of summer, Toronto is buzzing with energy, perfect weather, and a plethora of exciting events.

Today, the city is alive with several notable events that cater to a wide range of interests. If you're looking for a dose of culture and tradition, the **37th Annual Toronto International Dragon Boat Festival** is a must-visit. Taking place along Toronto’s waterfront, this festival features dragon boat races, delicious food vendors, and vibrant cultural performances. It's a great spot to enjoy the city's diverse community vibe[1][3][5].

For music enthusiasts, especially fans of U2, **U2 Day in Toronto** is happening at Corso Italia. This full-day celebration transforms the area into a U2 fan's paradise, complete with licensed U2 music and video, making it an unforgettable experience for any fan[5].

If you're in the mood for something artistic and unique, the **Luminato Festival** at the Harbourfront Centre is a treasure trove of extraordinary art experiences. You can step into the Terceradix Luminarium walk-in sculpture, enjoy a tribute to Quincy Jones by Grammy Award-winning artist Larnell Lewis, or experience inclusive interpretations of *Hamlet* featuring actors with Down Syndrome. The festival also includes Indigenous music performances by the Miigwech Collective and celebrations of South Asian music and culture[4].

For those looking for a fun family activity, the **Toronto Tattoo Show NIX 2025** at the Toronto Metro Convention Centre might not be the first choice, but it's an interesting event that celebrates all things ink. However, if you're seeking something more family-friendly, the dragon boat festival or the Luminato Festival's diverse offerings would be more suitable.

In local news, Toronto is always evolving, with new restaurant openings and public transit updates. Keep an eye out for new eateries in the Yorkville area, known for its upscale dining experiences. Also, be aware of any scheduled public transit maintenance that might affect your travel plans.

For a must-do activity today, consider taking a stroll along the waterfront to enjoy the dragon boat races or exploring the Harbourfront Centre for the Luminato Festival. If you're up for something unique, the **Yorkville Exotic Car Show** is a hidden gem that car enthusiasts won't want to miss[4].

Here’s a local tip: When navigating Toronto, use the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) app to plan your route efficiently. Also, don’t forget to try some of the city’s famous multicultural cuisine, such as Korean BBQ in Koreatown or Italian delicacies in Little Italy.

As we wrap up today’s exciting lineup, keep an eye out for tomorrow’s events. The **Pride Toronto 2025 Festival** is just around the corner, starting on June 26, and promises to be one of the largest Pride celebrations in the world. Until then, enjoy the remainder of your weekend in this vibrant city, and tune in tomorrow for more 'Things to Do in Toronto'
