Toronto Pignic (September 16 @ Greenwood Park)
Get to this east side park from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a guinea pig "pignic". Bring your guinea pigs, enter them in the pageant with 10 categories, walk them on the red carpet, or just show up to watch.
Small World in the Park (September 17 @ Trillium Park)
This is a day of global sounds at the beautiful new Trillium Park. Bring a blanket and a bite, stay for the day and linger by the fire. Shows start at 2 p.m. and the last show starts around 9 p.m.
TIFF People's Choice Award screening (September 17 @ Roy Thomson Hall)
Every year movie-goers cast their votes for their favourite movie of the festival and a winner is then chosen and screened for free on the final day of the festival. Last year's winner was La La Land ... what buzzy movie will take the crown in 2017?
