Toronto, May 24, 2023 - The small businesses along Toronto’s waterfront are inviting Torontonians down to the lake. And they’re really hoping you’ll come on a Wednesday! Today, the Waterfront BIA unveiled Waterfront Wednesdays, a collection of unique experiences and incredible offers available every Wednesday from May 31 to June 28.
From free boat tours and fitness classes to discounted tickets to area attractions to picnics delivered straight to your Sugar Beach umbrella, Waterfront Wednesdays is designed to encourage Torontonians to discover this incredible part of the city - and the businesses that line Toronto’s shores.
“There’s more to discover on Toronto’s waterfront than ever before,”’ said Tim Kocur Executive Director, Waterfront BIA. “And with so much recent development, we can guarantee that even if you’re a regular visitor to the area, there’s something new for you to experience.
