This weekend in Toronto: Frugal Fashion Week – What?!

For us lucky souls here in Toronto and staying at Toronto’s best international hostel located right downtown in the thick of everything, here’s what is happening this weekend in and around Toronto. Our BoD fans are primed and ready for Tuesday night’s movie at our favorite Yonge/Dundas square, just a short walk east from Backpackers On Dundas (BoD). Get your moon walk ready for cutie Tom Hanks in Apollo 13! Houston we do have a problem, however, with the planned Live Green show that was to have happened this weekend at the square…damn and double damn the stupid garbage strike!! Oh well, there is always something happening in TO so lets take a look at what, yes?!

Event: Free Movie Nights – Tuesdays all summer long
When: Tuesday evenings @ dusk
Where: Yonge/Dundas Square
$$: free
TTC: Dundas subway station, Yonge line
What:

Event: Beaches International Jazz Festival – Street Fest
When: Friday July 24th – Sunday July 26th
Where: Toronto Beaches – Queen Street East between Woodbine and Lee
$$: Free
TTC: Queen Streetcar – Eastbound 501 NEVILLE PARK
What: Queen Street is closed to all but foot traffic for the annual and awesome Street Fest event of the Jazz Festival. Come wander, shop the vender’s stalls, listen to the bands playing on the streets along the strip, taste the delicious offerings from the food venders along the way too! So fun!

Event: Frugal Fashion Week
When: Thursday July 23rd – Sunday July 26th
Where: Dundas Station
$$: Free – unless you go crazy buying stuff to send home!
TTC:
What: A festival after my own frugal heart (those who know me are laughing their butts off at that statement) – but really, frugal and fashion in the same sentence, I smell deals -no wait…that might be the garbage strike…but it’s going to be so great! A launch party, fashions shows, silent auction, shop crawl and so much more all right near BoD, here in the West Queen West neighborhood.

Event: Harbourfront Summer Festivals: Canadian Voices
When: Friday July 24th – Saturday July 25th
Where: Toronto Harbourfront

What: Come to Harbourfront to hear some great emerging Canadian musicians. You’ll be wowed by the great sounds including classical, folk and rock.

See? Lots to do without even having to venture far from BoD…And I’ve got just a couple of others that sound fun:

  • NBA 3on3 Challenge Saturday July 25th – Sunday July 26thRegister by July 21st to join in on the outdoor basketball fun or head to the Direct Energy Centre, Exhibition Place as a spectator.
