We get it: you’re busy. With so many things happening in Toronto every week, let alone every month, things can get a little overwhelming when planning your social calendar. Let’s keep it simple. Each month, Vv Magazine collects the top events in Toronto so that you know what you absolutely must attend. The rest, as they say, is noise.

It’s safe to say that the Holiday season is officially here and along with the copious amounts of forecasted snow (sorry), comes an avalanche of festivities and events! Halloween decor is replaced with twinkling lights, blanket scarves come out in full force and everyone seems to be in a more giving mood. Whether you’re looking to spend quality time with friends over drinks and food or start your long list of Christmas shopping, these Toronto events will definitely get you in the holiday spirit! Take a look at the top 10 November events below:

Tickets are almost all sold out – grab them here starting at $75.

Discover Syria at the Aga Khan Museum
Now to February 26, 2017
Today, we know Syria as a place of conflict however, there is so much more to the country than what we see in the media. Syria: A Living History is the Aga Khan museum’s latest exhibit and it showcases a Syria different than what is portrayed in the news. Learn about the country’s rich history through artworks, artifacts, and literature. We also suggest treating your taste buds and stopping by the museum’s in-house restaurant Diwan for their Syrian-inspired menu, consisting of delicious dishes like Kebab Karaz (lamb meatballs braised with sour cherries), Tarator-style salmon (walnut crusted), and more. Tickets that allow access to the entire museum are $20 or free on Wednesdays between 4pm and 8pm.
