Happening Weekend: Music, Booze and the Beach!

Toronto Events Listing for June 19 - 21, 2015

The Summer Events Season has kicked into high gear this weekend with so many big events taking place across Toronto. And not only is it Father's Day but also the first day of Summer on Sunday!

Here are my top picks for fabulous things to do in the city:
