The entertainment industry in Canada is booming, and it’s no surprise. With such a large population and a long history of culture, it makes sense that there would be so much to enjoy. From theatre productions to sporting events to film festivals to concerts – Canada has something for every taste.
1. Attend a Sporting Event
From the NHL to MLB, MLS, and Triple-A teams in every province – Canadians are sports crazy. Develop a game plan if you’re looking for something to do on the weekend. Find out what’s going on at the local arenas and stadiums.
2. Go to the Theatre
Before television and radio, Canada was all about the stage. You can see plays and musicals that date back to the early 20th century. The theatre industry is also alive and well, with productions from Shakespeare to musicals to comedies or dramas.
3. Attend a Festival
The Toronto International Film Festival is one of the world’s biggest arts and film festivals, and it’s held every year in September. It’s definitely worth the trip to Toronto – and once you’ve been there, you should make a point to see something else as well.
4. Watch a Movie
If you love the cinema, there are plenty of places to go and even more movies to see in Canada. The Toronto International Film Festival mentioned above isn’t the only film festival on the circuit. People gather up in various cities around Canada and participate in movie marathons.
5. Go to a Concert
The music scene in Canada is just as diverse and rich as the theatre or film industry. If you’re a fan of country music, you’ll find that it’s prevalent, especially in western Canada. You can also go to dozens of classical music festivals around the country, as well as indie concerts, and even performances by Renaissance musicians.
6. Go Shopping
Canadian culture may not be as flashy as other countries worldwide, but how can you argue with free health care? If you need to shop, go ahead and stock up on great deals at any of Canada’s thousands of malls companies. And that’s not all. There are boutique stores to suit every style and taste.
Conclusion
There are plenty of ways to enjoy Canada’s culture and entertainment industry – and whether you’re a sports fan or a movie buff, there’s something out there for everyone.
