The Toronto Entertainment District is North America’s most diverse entertainment, culture and sports destination. With this in mind, we have created five areas that celebrate our past, present and future. Look for these icons as you discover the District.

Here you will find preserved historic manufacturing warehouses converted into beautiful office lofts and artist studios. Today, this area is known for its vibrant nightlife, and as it evolves new condos continue to grow this area’s residential population.

Home to world-renowned theatres, performing arts centres and the Toronto International Film Festival Headquarters, the theatre area has something for everyone. Make sure to check out the great dining options alongthis dynamic stretch of King Street.

This area is known for its beautiful office towers, the Metro Toronto Convention Centre and one of Canada’s major broadcast facilities. Here you will also find some of the world’s prestige hotel brands.

We host five major league sports teams at their home venues, not to mention the destination for many world concert tours. Here you can find an array of cultural and family attractions year round.

With the first passenger trains received and dispatched on August 11, 1927; today it is one of the busiest rail passenger transportation facilities in Canada. Union Station serves approximately a quarter of a million passengers each day!
