Playoffs, Laughter, and Sensory Thrills: A Bustling Day in Toronto

Good morning Toronto! Welcome to Things to Do in Toronto for Thursday, October 9th, 2025. I'm Olly Bennett, and let me tell you, this city is absolutely buzzing today!

The vibe in Toronto right now is electric, folks! The Blue Jays just clinched their spot in the ALCS after Vladimir Guerrero Jr. put on an absolute clinic against the Yankees, going 9-for-17 with three home runs. The whole city is riding that playoff energy, and honestly, you can feel it in the air. Speaking of the Jays, if you missed last night's game, Celebration Square in Mississauga is screening Game 5 tomorrow night if it's necessary, so grab your friends and soak up that playoff atmosphere!

Now let me hit you with today's can't-miss action. First up, get yourself down to 1069 Bloor Street West for the Bellyache Comedy Show happening tonight. Nothing beats good laughs with your mates on a Thursday evening. Then, if you're feeling adventurous and want something truly unique, Darkfield is running their immersive audio experiences at Stackt Market until November 9th. Picture this: you're sitting in complete darkness inside a shipping container, wearing headphones that deliver spine-tingling binaural sound. They've got two shows, Séance and Flight, and trust me, these aren't your typical theatre experiences. The darkness plays tricks on your mind in the most delicious way!

For those in the Mississauga area, there's still time to catch Toronto Blue Jays playoff action on the big screens at Celebration Square. The energy at these public viewings is absolutely mental, and it's free!

Here's a local tip that'll make you feel like a proper Torontonian: when you're exploring Stackt Market for those Darkfield shows, stick around for the food vendors. This shipping container marketplace has become one of the coolest spots in the city, and you'll find incredible eats from local vendors that most tourists completely miss.

Looking ahead to tomorrow and this weekend, you've got the Diwali Festival of Lights kicking off at Nathan Phillips Square on Saturday, complete with fireworks and cultural performances. The Thanksgiving long weekend is also bringing PumpkinFest to Downsview Park, running from the 10th through the 13th, perfect if you've got little ones or just love fall festivities.

So get out there, Toronto! Whether you're catching comedy, experiencing sensory-bending theatre, or cheering on the Jays, this city is serving up the goods today. Tune in tomorrow for more adventures because this weekend is absolutely packed!
