This week starts up with Family Day on Monday! There are some great activities for kids running in the city, highlighted by Family Day on the Farm at the Canadian Agriculture and Food Museum. This looks like a really fun event; if you don’t have kids, maybe just borrow some from a neighbour or family member as an excuse to go and experience the activities there! The remainder of the week offers a lot of fun events as well. As a sure sign of the end of winter, the Boat Show runs all weekend at the EY Centre! There are also a couple of great concerts this week, with Hedley at TD Place and Alan Doyle at the National Arts Centre….both are must see concerts!!
My top three picks of the week:
- Prime Minister’s Row Whiskey Tasting (AllSaints Event Space, Friday)
- Rocky Horror Picture Show – Live (Centrepointe Theatres, Wednesday – Saturday)
- Nature Nocturne (Canadian Museum of Nature, Friday)
Announcements:
- I’ve expanded my blog, and am now subscribed to the new social media, called Steemit! If you’ve got a profile, shoot me a follow and I’ll reciprocate! I plan on posting shorter, less formal blog posts about current affairs on that medium, and bypassing my main site so it’ll give you some insight on my personal views on topical events.
- The Bluesfest Line up was announced this week, and what a great line-up!!! You can see the full list of acts here.
- Another concert announcement was made last week. Finger 11 and I Mother Earth will be playing at the Algonquin Commons Theatre on April 16th.
- For those of you who’ve been curious about the Brew Donkey events, I will be attending one this weekend and will provide a full review for you to read and get an idea as to what to expect. I’m really excited about this as I’ve never been!
