Here's what to do if your fishing change out of your sofa.

PANAMANIA (August 7-12)
PANAMANIA will be over in a few short days, so spend the 10th to the 12th taking advantage of the final free events. See Jann Arden (August 11), A Tribe Called Red (August 12), tons of world music artists and lots more at Nathan Phillips Square. Check the schedule and show up early.

Waterfront Night Market (August 14-16)
