Archived weekend.
This week's pick
Drizzle Saturday, rain Sunday — this weekend is not doing you any favours outdoors. The good news: Ireland House Museum and the Royal Duck Bounce Park at Burlington Centre are both solid indoor calls, and Springridge Farm is worth the wet if your kids are the kind who don't notice rain once they're in a corn maze. The Appleby Line Street Festival runs Sunday afternoon, so watch the radar before you commit.
Springridge Farm's Harvest Weekends run both days, with the Giant Corn Trail, pumpkin picking, and the farm bakery all open Sunday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is $16 per person for ages 2 to 92 in September. It's outdoor and exposed, so dress for drizzle — but the corn trail keeps kids moving and the bakery gives adults a reason to stay.

The Appleby Line Street Festival closes 652 Appleby Line to traffic Sunday 1 to 5 p.m., with over 150 vendors, food trucks, live music, and a dedicated kids zone. It's free to attend. Sunday's forecast is the worse of the two days, so check the radar around noon before loading the stroller.

Springridge Farm's Harvest Weekends also run Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Same deal: Giant Corn Trail, pumpkin patch, farm bakery, $16 per person. Saturday's drizzle is lighter than Sunday's rain, making it the marginally better of the two days to go if you're choosing one.

RBG's 6th Annual Green Angels Movie Night is at Hendrie Park Saturday evening — doors open 5:30 p.m. with a DJ, lawn games, caricature artist, and a search-and-find before the film Hoppers (2026) screens. Popcorn is included with your ticket, and all proceeds support RBG's Green Angels Program. It's outdoor, so this one lives or dies by whether the drizzle holds off after dark.
Sat · 5:30 p.m. · Royal Botanical Gardens Hendrie Park
Ireland House Museum runs How to Be a Victorian on Sunday 1 to 4 p.m., and September's theme is Back to School — kids aged 5 to 12 try dip pens, practice Victorian handwriting, and work through 19th-century lessons. Admission is free for family membership holders; walk-ins are welcome. This is the right call if Sunday's rain shuts down your outdoor plans.
Sun · 1:00 p.m. · Ireland House Museum · Free
The Burlington Terry Fox Run starts at Spencer Smith Park Sunday morning — registration at 8 a.m., runners go at 9 a.m., everyone else at 10 a.m. The route is a 5 km loop along Lakeshore Road and Brant Street, east of the Burlington Pier. Rain is forecast, but this one typically runs regardless; strollers and wheelchairs are welcome, no bikes.
Sun · 8:00 a.m. · Spencer Smith Park
The Burlington Lions Club Farmers Market runs Saturday 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Burlington Centre — Ontario produce, local meats, baked goods, honey, and artisan vendors. It's outdoor, so go early before the drizzle picks up. The covered parking lot entrance gives you a quick exit if the weather turns.
Sat · 8:00 a.m. · Burlington Centre · Free
The Art Gallery of Burlington is running a hands-on indigo pigment workshop Saturday noon to 4 p.m. — participants take indigo leaves grown in the AGB community garden and work through the full process of making paint. It's flexible indoor-outdoor, which suits the drizzly forecast. Check the AGB website for registration details and age suitability before you go.
Sat · 12:00 p.m. · Art Gallery of Burlington
Royal Duck Bounce Park is at Burlington Centre all day Sunday with inflatable bounce houses and play structures for kids. It's fully indoor, which makes it a reliable backup if Sunday's rain kills your other plans. No pre-booking details listed — arrive and pay at the door.
Sun · 12:00 a.m. · Burlington Centre
Royal Duck Bounce Park is also running all day Saturday at Burlington Centre. Same setup as Sunday: indoor inflatables, good for burning energy when the weather isn't cooperating. Pairs well with a stop at the Farmers Market in the same complex before the drizzle arrives.
