“Kick Off the Lunar New Year with a Vibrant Celebration in Chinatown This Weekend!”

This weekend, embrace the vibrant Lunar New Year festivities in Chinatown and immerse yourself in the magical Winter Stations art display and luminous outdoor exhibition at Ontario Place. The Year of the Horse has officially begun, symbolizing determination, growth, and positive change. The Chinatown BIA invites everyone to partake in the celebrations at Chinatown Centre and Dragon City Mall on Saturday and Sunday.

Winter Stations at Woodbine Beach, themed Mirage, promises to captivate visitors with bold and imaginative designs from artists around the world. The spectacular winning creations from Canada, the U.S., Taiwan, Germany, and Ukraine are on show until the end of March. Explore the boundary between reality and illusion at this enchanting event.

Ontario Place will be aglow with Lumiere: The Art of Light, an engaging outdoor light exhibition showcasing the creativity of Ontario-based artists. Witness the illuminating displays nightly from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., and experience the warmth of fire pits on Friday and Saturday evenings. Let the artistry of light brighten your weekend at Trillium Park.

For transit reminders, Line 1 will be closed between St. George and St. Andrew stations on Saturday, and Line 4 will have shuttle buses between Sheppard-Yonge and Don Mills stations on Sunday due to scheduled maintenance. Plan your trips accordingly and enjoy a smooth commute post-closures.

Amidst the city’s ongoing construction, a section of the westbound Gardiner Expressway has reduced lanes from Park Lawn Road to Grand Avenue in southern Etobicoke. Eastbound lanes will be narrowed but remain open from April 2025 to December 2026. Stay updated on traffic changes and closures via 680 NewsRadio Toronto.
