Toronto Oktoberfest has been cancelled for 2025, and is just the latest in a string of major events to bite the dust this year. Toronto Oktoberfest 2025 was expected to kick off the fall next month, but fans of the event are in for some disheartening news: it has officially been cancelled. Due to current funding restraints, we have made the difficult decision to pause Toronto Oktoberfest for 2025 while we focus on building an even better festival experience for the future." Toronto Oktoberfest has been a staple in the community, taking inspiration from its namesake and popular Munich-based festivities, Oktoberfest. Although an official announcement has been shared on the event website, there is no mention of the cancellation on the official Toronto Oktoberfest social media accounts.
