Today in Toronto Caribana weekend officially begins to sparkle with The King and Queen show at Lamport Stadium, where the costumed competition and Soca and Calypso music will go on until midnight. Dirty, dirty pop music will be shuddering at the Drake Hotel for Popsploitation's dance party, while an even dirtier dance party will go down with Jock Club at S.H.I.B.G.Bs on Geary Ave.

A bit of bad news, the deliciously refreshing Hart House Craft Beer Festival is sold out, as are Nick Cave tickets. Ride out your sadness at July's Art Spin, watch the Lego Movie outdoors for free, or get silly at Mod Club where the Canadian Air Guitar Championships will determine something, briefly. And isn't that was life is all about. For more events, click on over to our events section.
