I'm so lucky to live near T.O.

Today, as I look through my window at yet another grey, crappy, boring day, I come to realize how lucky I am to live near Toronto. Because I'm so bored, I decided to check out toronto.com to see what was happening in my province's capital city that would be pretty darn cool to attend. Here are few that I thought were pretty neat:

The Toronto Jazz Festival (www.tojazz.com)
Lots of artists from Canada and around the world are coming out to play at this event. There's outdoor stages, but some are also playing in lounges and bar and the like. Plus you can catch free shows at Dundas Square (I think. I need to double check that) too.

Mondo Muziko A-Go-Go! (http://toronto.com/summerfestivals/event/608948)
Free musical performances at Dundas Square. AlexCuba is coming in September! I can't wait! I love his song "Amore Infinito"!

Casa Loma Renaissance Festival (http://toronto.com/summerfestivals/event/514314)
How about a little history in the city, eh? Casa Loma is transforming the gardens into a 16th century village with street performers and vendors and such. Fun times!

Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition (http://toronto.com/summerfestivals/event/517749)
Various artists are coming out to showcase and sell their works and it should be pretty darn cool!

Wakestock (http://toronto.com/summerfestivals/event/375621)
One of the biggest wakeboarding competitions and music festivals ever - right here at Toronto's Center Island - lasting for 4 days.

Buskerfest (http://toronto.com/summerfestivals/event/609096)
At the St. Lawrence Markets, Toronto's street performers come out in full force to entertain and show off their stuff with music, theater, and all sorts of tricks. Plus at night, the streets are still alive with shows and comedy theater.
