Things to do this Long weekend:

So to make your life easier, we here at Smash have given a suggested list of things that you should be checking out this weekend, that is, if you aren't vacating the city.

-Beer Store 

Optional choice of course, however its always fun to float through a long weekend

-Smash 

Coming any second (literally) are assorted items that remain a surprise. The blog will be updated later as to what has been added to our collection, but all has been hand picked by Paul, imported from the United States of America. We also have a wicked Contact show that half of Toronto has already seen, if you haven't seen it, your in the minority.

-Fireworks

Happening in a couple locales, one being in the beaches on Monday the 18th, Sunday the 17th Ontario Place is putting on a show as well. Grab a blanket.

-Patio's 

Now weekly is featuring TO's best patios this week, and although I disagree with their top choice, it isn't winter anymore, so have at it.

-Junction

Contact Festival has invaded the Junction, and many great photographers are being featured. This weekend is a good time to come out and check out what this overlooked area of Toronto has to offer. 

-Doors Open Toronto

This weekend a lot of awesome buildings are opening their doors for curious guests. You can house crawl and see the insides of some peculiar buildings that give Toronto its character.
