The year is all but finished, and as you look to throw together some festive plans for the last weekend of 2022 (and the first one of 2023) knowing what will be open and closed on New Year's Day in Toronto will help that organization go a bit more smoothly.

Although New Year's Day is technically a statutory holiday, plenty of Toronto attractions and shops will keep their doors open, from museums to malls to grocery stores, so you won't be at a total loss for things to do. But before you head out, make sure to check that your destination is one of the ones staying open, so you can avoid starting off the new year by turning up to a store that's very much closed.
