The David Suzuki Foundation's third annual Homegrown Park Crawl (September 27)
Though not actually a festival, this "crawl" has all the makings of a good one.

FOOD & DRINK

Toronto Cider Festival (September 26)
If you enjoy craft ciders, festivals and food trucks, this event will be right up your alley.

Plenty of familiar vendors will be on the scene, from Brickworks Ciderhouse to The Salted Pig.

Mill St. Beer Hall Oktoberfest Party (September 26)
The ideal place to celebrate Oktoberfest - if you can't get yourself to Munich - is a Beer Hall, and Mill St. has just that. On September 26th you'll find the brewery filled with guests sipping Mill St. brews from steins and getting their fill of Bavarian fare. In true Oktoberfest fashion there will also be live music and German-themed entertainment on tap for the evening. A ticket will put you back $30.

Oktoberfest at The Gladstone (September 26)
Head to The Gladstone this Saturday for some seriously German celebrations. On the menu is traditional eats like pretzels and bratwurst, plus plenty of Mill St. beer. Grab a stein from a lederhosen-clad bartender and get to celebrating.

Food Truck Festival Ontario (September 27)
If you didn't manage to make it to a food truck this past summer, here's your chance to sample some top notch street fare. Downsview part will be taken over by 30 food trucks serving up everything from fries to funnel cakes.

MUSIC

The Constantines (September 25)
Lee's Palace is celebrating their 30th birthday by bringing in the best Toronto-by-way-of-Guelph rock band for a good ol' fashioned rock show. The two-night stand doesn't note any other supporting acts yet, but considering the occasion, you can probably expect some other local indie faves in the fold.

A$AP Rocky (September 25)
Like Alabama Shakes, A$AP Rocky just can't quit The 6 - even though he headlined the non-cancelled night of VELD a mere month ago, he'll be back for more at Echo Beach, joined by the incredibly charismatic Danny Brown and Vince Staples.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor (September 25-26)
Just days after their Polaris Prize foes host another indulgent, ice cap-melting gala, GY!BE comes to the Danforth Music Hall in honour of this year's well-received Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress. The full tour hits many places throughout the fall, but this two-night TO stay will be the only time they're in the Troubled Motherland until next year.

MOVIES

TIFF in Your Park: The Sapphires (September 25)

Zoolander Quote-Along (September 26)
