Doors Open Toronto 2009-Free Admission!!

Free Admission to all venues listen which will probably include the venues that you want to visit which normally charges an admission fee such as AGO, ROM, Bata Shoe Museum, Textile Museum, Ceramic Museum, etc... So if you have plenty of time & you're not interested on the venues which are normally closed to the public, when why not go to those ones & save $.

I love these types of events especially when it's free & when there's tons to do around the city (GTA) for everybody young & small to the elderly, people from all walks of life, whom some otherwise may spend most of their daylight cramped in an office & getting to hang out at places where we normally don't get to go to too often or at all. It's just exciting when you see everybody else having fun when you're also having fun & experiencing the same things.
I love Doors Open & Nuit Blanche (Free).
Luminato & TIFF (not free but worth it anyway!).

Here's a few links to get y'all prepared for next weekend's event.
Gear up & pack all the essentials! Don't forget to checked the updated weather report especially on the day of....to see if you'll need to bring an umbrella/raincoat, or bring it anyway just in case it does rain when you're moving from venue to venue. Also, bring your Sunblock. Even if it's a rainly day, there may still be periods of Sun Burn Time! Don't worry, you'll be indoors most of the time b/c "Doors Open" is all about them openning up the doors & let us in inside, lol!

Toronto Star Guide, but it's from last year. The updated version will probably come in a few days on Thurs. But much of the info will be the same anyway, so doesn't hurt to take a peak especially if you're totally new to this event.

The Official Website contains a list of venues & some other info.

A semi-official website I suppose b/c it's for all the "Doors Open" events in Ontario, eg. there's also "Doors Open Markham." It contains a list of venues & some other info such as links to the venue websites.

Lit City!
Doors Open is a part of the Lit City event which seems like most of us were too busy to have noticed it, but it's not too late yet. If you can't catch the last of it now, there's always next year, but don't forget then!
