First of all, I have to mention the Attractions Ontario website which has a great selection of coupons for almost every attraction in Ontario (even African Lion Safari!). Check it out before you head for your weekend excursions.

On Saturday, July 17th, Parks Canada invites Canadians from all walks of life to come out and explore the best that Canada has to offer. Parks Canada opens its gates and welcome you into all national parks, national historic sites and national marine conservation areas for free! A list of 125 Ontario Parks experiences can be found here
Salsa On St. Claire – participate in a showcase of Latin life and flavour.
Art In the Park, an annual art show, is taking place at the Markham Museum which offers 25 acres of parkland including an orchard and heritage gardens. See mills, re-created businesses and family homes. Enjoy a personal tour and then stroll the village. Bring a picnic or pick up food at one of the many local establishments.
Kidsfest on Centre Island - this may be a reason to go…or to stay away because of the crowds. Your call.
There is also a bizarre public napping event (yes, as in take a NAP) on Queen St. but I don’t think us parents can pull it off. We would just ruin it for everyone else.
