Events in Toronto – January 1 – 3, 2016

Current Weekend – Things to do this weekend in Toronto

 

I. Live Music & Concerts

DJ Skate Nights

A modern day tradition is born, as the event that created the genre returns to Harbourfront Centre to begin a new year – with a little soul on ice. Bring the family and groove along to an evening of soul as Jester & Kid Kut bring the vibes to the Natrel Rink. From Aretha Franklin and Marvin Gaye to Alicia Keys and Justin Timberlake, all music from the soul has a home in the Kitchen. Get a plate.
