Downtown Queen Street

Beaches International Jazz Festival
Edit ThisEvery year jazz lovers in Toronto head to the Beaches. The Queen Street East between Woodbine and Victoria Park humms with the sounds of saxofones, trumpets, pianos, drums...
People walking down the streets and nodding their heads to the smooth tunes or just stroling down the beach and stoping over in a park with an entire orchestra playing classic or modern jazz and all of that goodness and joy and fun is all entirely free. Unless of course you stop over at a bar, take a seat on their patio and decide to order a drink with your Miles Davis. When you find yourself in more..

Pedestrian Sundays, Kensington Market
Edit ThisOnce a month (last Sunday, but see website for exact dates) from 1-7pm, Kensington Market area is pedestrianised and turned into one big street festival. Kensington Market is an interesting enough area to start with, with hundreds of small 'hippy' type shops, organic fruit and veg markets and bohemian bars and cafes. The Pedestrian Sundays brings the area alive, filled with bands and musicians, street performers and craft and food stalls. Definately worth a visit to bring out the inner hippy in you!

Edit ThisHarbourfront Centre is THE place to be during the summer, where they hold free concerts, innovative dance performances, workshops and films... ALL FOR FREE! Guests have included Broken Social Scene, Cinematic Orchestra and awesome local musicians. They have breakdancing competitions, ceramics workshops, food festivals and loads more.

Brickworks
Edit ThisBrickworks is an abandoned factory along the Don Valley, best accessed by bike (there is a Don Velley bike trail that can lead you there). If you climb the chainlink fence, you can see all the old machinery of the brick factory. Great for photographers.
Seeing Brickworks is also a nice excuse to bike along the Don Valley, the calm of the forest in the heart of the city is pretty humbling. The forest trail is completely shaded, and passes through some open space parks where you can stop for picnics or a game of frisbee.
