Welcome to 'Time IN Toronto' on this vibrant Friday, September 20, 2024 As we step into the weekend, Toronto is buzzing with energy. The weather is crisp and autumnal, with a hint of coolness in the air, and the city's air quality is looking good, making it a perfect day to get out and explore.

Today's vibe is set by a plethora of exciting events. If you're a book lover, head over to the Toronto Reference Library for the Treasures Book Sale, where you can find incredible deals on thousands of books, including rare and collectible editions, all starting from just $2. Admission is free today, so don't miss out.

For those looking for a cultural experience, the 52nd Toronto Antiquarian Book Fair is kicking off at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. This event is a treasure trove for book collectors, librarians, and anyone fascinated by antiquarian books, maps, and prints. The evening begins with a preview cocktail reception from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

Music enthusiasts are in for a treat as well. Tonight, you can catch the opening party of the Toronto Biennial of Art, but if you're more into live music, consider heading to MOCA for Free Friday Nights, where you can enjoy contemporary art and exhibitions for free from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

As the night unfolds, the city transforms into a vibrant nightlife scene. If you're feeling adventurous, "Welcome to the Apocalypse" at Ground Control is a kinky dance art and sex-positive party complete with a dungeon, performances, and DJs. This unique event promises an unforgettable night of creativity and self-expression.

In local news, the city is abuzz with new restaurant openings and public transit updates. The TTC has announced improvements to several bus routes, making it easier to navigate the city. For foodies, a new sushi restaurant in the heart of Yorkville is gaining rave reviews for its innovative sushi rolls.

For must-do activities today, consider a visit to High Park for the Moon Walk, where you can enjoy a guided walk under the Harvest Moon and even sketch its features using binoculars. If you're looking for something more laid-back, the Queen West Art Crawl Festival at Trinity Bellwoods Park is a great spot to enjoy live music, street food, and a kids' zone.

Here's a local tip: Did you know that Toronto has a hidden PATH system – an underground network of shops and restaurants that can help you navigate the city during inclement weather? It's a local favorite that keeps you warm and dry while exploring.

As we wrap up today's highlights, don't forget to mark your calendars for tomorrow. Kygo will be performing at Woodbine Park, and the Queen West Art Crawl Festival continues into its second day. Tune in tomorrow for more exciting events and activities that make Toronto such a fantastic place to be.
