What can you do for a frugal Fathers Day in Toronto? Here are some free or inexpensive ideas for the Fathers Day weekend, June 19-21, 2015. And they’re perfectly good summer Toronto events in their own right!
Beach Brew and BBQ for Fathers Day 2015
The Beach Brew and BBQ offers free music, although you need to buy their drinks and food. The theme just shouts, “Fathers Day for the whole family”, doesn’t it? This has become an annual Toronto event for Fathers Day.
The Beach Brew and BBQ runs from Friday June 19 (3-11pm), through Saturday (noon-11pm) to Sunday (noon-8pm). The venue is Woodbine Park, bordered by Lake Shore Blvd East, Coxwell, Eastern Ave., and Northern Dancer Blvd (a residential street west of Woodbine). Take the 22 Coxwell bus south from Coxwell Station on the #2 Bloor-Danforth subway, or the 501 Queen streetcar to Coxwell and walk south a block.
Free NXNE Music at Yonge-Dundas Square for Fathers Day 2015
The NXNE music festival offers free music for all ages at Yonge-Dundas Square on Saturday and Sunday, June 20-21, 2015. (I’m not sure whether they plan to charge admission to the shows on Friday night’s schedule). Here’s the 2015 NXNE at Yonge-Dundas Square schedule.
Of course, NXNE sells tickets to many shows at other venues; but this article is about being frugal.
Assuming the subway is running, that’s the best way to get to Yonge and Dundas.
Free Games Weekend at Harbourfront for Fathers Day 2015
Bring your under-9-years-old children to Queen’s Quay for the free Games Weekend events at Harbourfront, both Saturday & Sunday from 11am-6pm.
It’s only for children 8 and under; you have to watch from the sidelines of the outdoor playground. But Queen’s Quay is a charming part of Toronto, so you should be able to find some other things to do once your children are tuckered out.
It’s a reasonable walk south-west from Union Station, and the road construction is starting to clear up along Queen’s Quay.

Generally the Toronto museums charge under $10/person, with lower rates for children and seniors. Let’s just note anything out of the ordinary below.
