Located between Parliament Street and Cherry Street, the Distillery Historic District is an entertainment and historic area in the heart of Toronto just a short walk from the central business district. The 13 acres and ten streets of this area are full of art galleries, artisan shops, boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and performance venues all housed in the historic buildings of the former Gooderham and Worts Whiskey Distillery.

With more than 40 heritage buildings, the Distillery District contains the largest collection of Victorian industrial architecture in North America and was designated as a National Historic Site of Canada in 1988. If you are looking for things to do in Toronto today, this is a great place to start exploring. The Distillery District also features Distillery Sunday Market and the Music City Summer Series, both popular events.
