Yeah, I kinda miss Celebrate Toronto... lost its funding in favour of Nuit Blanche, I believe. I guess it wasn't a bad trade.]]>

I was at Night It Up! last year. Absolutely love the atmosphere. It's rare you feel such bustling night-market energy in North America

I heard it's volunteer based too! I'm definitely going again this year]]>

The big scrabble game in the photo, what event might that be? :)

P.S. For those of you who are close to Mississauga, there are some pretty great events as well, 50s night being on Sunday actually and other free concerts and movie nights:

Don't forget Salsa on St. Clair, July 11 & 12, on St. Clair between Christie and Winona. The city's biggest and best celebration of Latin culture, music and dance!

And don't forget the newest festival added to this Summer, Toronto After Dark Film Festival - 8 Nights of New Horror, Sci-Fi, Action and Cult Films. Voted runner-up, best film festival in the city, by BlogTO readers last year, the thrilling film fest runs two months earlier this year: August 14-21, 2009 at the Bloor Cinema. Festival Passes are already over 60% sold out. Complete details at the fest website here:

Agree that omission of the downtown jazz fest (officially the TD Canada Trust Toronto Jazz Festival) is a major oversight. It's head and shoulders above the Beaches fest as far as calibre of acts and venues. Beaches fest certainly has its charms though.]]>

I've been to both and the only one that attracts top talent is the downtown one. The Beaches jazz fest is not even worth going to. Sorry to pop your little Beach ball.]]>

This is the first time I've heard someone say they're prefered the downtown Jazz festival over the Beaches one (assuming they'd actually been to both).  ]]>

What about the Toronto Jazz Fest? Sure, it was a bit weak this year but it still beats the Beaches Jazz Fest any day.]]>

Thank you kind sir, for the nice words on Night It Up. We're in the last frenzy week of prep, but it should be the best we've ever pulled off. Perhaps a line by-pass on the Stinky Tofu? ;) 

Check out www.nightitup.com for our latest promo video. Our button collection is out, Media Conference is going on as we speak, posters printed and postcards with free buttons are out as well. Hope to see you all there!
