Toronto 
Events Description
While the likes of World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and Félix Auger-Aliassime are thrilling spectators on the court, fans will have plenty of entertainment to enjoy around the grounds at the 2023 National Bank Open presented by Rogers. That’s thanks to the return of 407 ETR Family Weekend and the introduction of several new on-site activations and theme days.
With free entry to the grounds on qualifying weekend (August 5-6), families will have the chance to enjoy a wide range of activities, from face painting, arts and crafts, and an inflatable obstacle course to a caricature artist and the fan-favourite air guitar contest. As part of the Mental Timeout initiative supported by Beneva, visitors can also try out dog therapy, yoga sessions and have the chance to sign Tennis Canada’s Positive Court Pledge or write a positivity postcard to their favourite player.
Tennis enthusiasts can also catch a glimpse of the Davis Cup trophy in the VIP Lounge, which is open to all guests during Family Weekend, as the iconic silverware concludes its nationwide tour. Meanwhile, a ball hockey game on Sunday, August 6 featuring a group of NHL stars and top ATP players, refereed by Sportsnet’s Ron MacLean, is one not to miss. Younger fans can also meet some of their favourite TV characters, including members of the PAW Patrol, Spongebob Squarepants, Toopy and Binoo, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
