It’s back-to-school season, but that doesn’t mean your summer fun has to end. Toronto’s art and film scenes shine in the fall, and while TIFF may be taking over the city, that’s just a fraction of what’s going on this month. There’s a long list of innovative culinary experiences, literary events, concerts and more to look forward to. Here’s how TL Insiders can spend their time this September.
