So I have been a to a few Summer Festivals this year. There are so many!!! We must have anywhere from 2-5 festivals a weekend here in TO! I am thankful that Scotiabank and TD have stepped up to sponsor these wonderful city events!
I saw kd lang at the Illuminato festival. I saw Aretha Franklin at the kick off to the Jazz Festival; both in David Pecaut Square (formerly Metro Square, next to Roy Thomson Hall). All for FREE!!
Taste of Little Italy, South East Asia (the old Taste of Little India), "TIFF in the Park" in the David Pecaut Square. Dundas Square is doing outdoor movies as well. Harbourfront has stuff going on every weekend as well. I had not been to the Beaches Jazz Festival in years but Carol Pope was playing! That's Carol in the neon yellow/lime top!
If you want to do something different and kind of hidden somewhere near Cherry Beach.. is the Promises party. When I went last month it was more towards Coxwell below Lakeshore.. I believe the street name is Unwin.. behind the old chimney stacks! You'll see an opening along the road. $5 to get in, hide your beer in a plastic cup or reusable portable mug, bring a picnic and enjoy some beats! Watch people dance, hula hoop, fire spin and more! Make sure you bring some bug spray! ha!
So take a walk through an old neighbourhood you have not seen in ages, enjoy some ethnic food, have a cold one while enjoying some music! It's summertime.. enjoy it while it lasts!
