Toronto City Hall
2022 Dec 23
Our Toronto City Hall is in the shape of a UFO! That alone puts it on the map for a destination location. Nathan Philip Square boasts the public skating rink in the winter as well as a huge Christmas Tree, which has been a holiday tradition for as long as I can remember. In the summer the NPS hosts numerous events and on Queen Street you’ll find a vast array of food trucks. I have attended my best friends wedding at City Hall and when you leave the space ship, well, there are those moments where you feel transported at times. The Toronto sign along with the Indigenous Wheel and Maple Leaf, those are photo ops waiting to happen. If you’re visiting Toronto I highly recommend City Hall and Nathan Philip Square for some classic but distinguishable tourist shots and if you live here, same rules apply! 📸🛸🍁
The Village of Yorkville Park is a great place for photo ops, relaxing and reading your favourite book or hanging out with friends and family. Every winter, around Christmas time they host the Cavalcade of Lights with beautiful Christmas light displays.

In the winter they also have the ice sculptures located here (February I believe) and they’ll have the Festival of Lights and different themed events here throughout the year. The ice sculptures throughout the years have represented some of the events of the year and other years they are themed or focused around a larger event.

Centrally located in Yorkville, there are lots of coffee shops and restaurants to grab a snack and make a day out of it with some great shopping. This is a fun place to bring the family whether you’re from Toronto or visiting, if you happen to catch an event at the park, chances are it will be well lit and picture perfect!!

Took a few pics of Santa and his reindeer above Old Yorke Lane (across from Yorkville Park). The Fleurs de Villes sponsored by Porsche is also on full display tonight, from Dec. 6-10 so I snapped a pic of the flowered peppermints 🎄☃️❄️
