While there are officially still three weeks to go, most people consider Labour Day to be the last weekend of summer, and it's definitely going out with a bang - quite literally if you're unlucky enough to live in Parkdale, where we'll be spending the weekend listening to low-flying jets from the stupid fucking International Air Show at the Ex.
If you're looking to avoid the smell and taste of jet fuel exhaust, your options this weekend include the Ashkenaz Festival of Jewish Culture at Harbourfront, the Hispanic Fiesta at Mel Lastman Square, the Fiera Street Festival in Little Italy, and the monthly Pedestrian Sundays event in Kensington Market.
The full list of happenings for the next week follows below, and as always, our Events page has more information on these and many other upcoming events in Toronto and area.
