Toronto Blue Jays vs. Tampa Bay Rays

With the weather finally starting to warm up in Toronto, a Jays game sounds more tempting than ever. This week, they’re facing off against the Tampa Bay Rays for a three-game home series on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Grab a pair of cheap outfield tickets and soak in the sun from the stands!

Kinky Boots

See an iconic musical when it premieres in Toronto this Tuesday! Kinky Boots, the spirited and entertaining show featuring a Tony-winning score by Cyndi Lauper, follows the tale of an unlikely pair with more in common than they realise.

Vaughan Ribfest

Spend this Victoria Day long weekend sampling the GTA’s best ribs (and more!). Vaughan Ribfest is back from Friday to Monday with every kind of smoked meat you’ve ever dreamed of, plus other classic festival snacks like Beavertails and roasted corn, live entertainment and fireworks.

Electric Island

There are many signs that summer is here — and in Toronto, the start of the season is more about vibes than the actual weather. One such sign is the first Electric Island of the season. This electronic music festival is taking over Woodbine Park this weekend for the season opener!

Eurovision Watch Party

Eurovision is back this week, with the final showdown taking place on Saturday. If you love rooting for your favourite countries (and booing your leas favourites), join in on a watch party at Pegasus on Church! The live broadcast begins at 3 p.m. and there will be flags and scorecards for you to take notes.
