THEATRE | Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Once More With Feeling SHADOWCAST
The triumphant musical episode of Joss Whedon's cult horror-comedy is re-imagined for the stage, with actors recreating the action on screen as the film plays behind them! Presented by Fringe Toronto as part of "The Silver Stage."

ART | Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibit
With over 500 artists and an estimated 100 000 visitors, the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition is the largest outdoor alternative to conventional art shows and galleries, with artists of all different disciplines from Toronto represented including mixed media, glass, drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking and more!
Nathan Phillips Square, 100 Queen Street W / FREE

GALLERY | Trivial Pursuits: Mass Distraction
Trivial Pursuits presents the phenomena of digital distraction as new media art. Video projection, intermedia sculptures, and interactive installations encourage our engagement with irrelevance as our attention becomes split-focused by the excess of modern technology.
InterAccess Electronic Media Arts Gallery, 9 Ossington Ave

FOOD | Night It Up!
Arguably the best food festival of the summer kicks off tonight in Markham. Join the massive crowds for some smelly tofu, freshly shucked oysters and other amazing treats.
Metro Square at Steeles Ave & Warden Ave
