Today in Toronto: Buskerfest, Open Roof, Paint the Wall, Co-op, Julie Doiron, FoundMissing, Union Duke

Today in Toronto the downtown streets will be filled with Buskerfest's weekend-long celebration of talent from from Queen to College Street including Yonge-Dundas Square and Trinity Square Park. The city's best buskers from old school guitar strummers to chalk artists to ultra weird performance artists will be showing their stuff in support of Epilepsy Toronto.

Open Roof Fest's last run will feature a screening of Chef and fusion band Manatee, and Walnut Studios is throwing a cocktail party/BBQ parking lot fundraiser with DJs, live graffiti painting, and more. Aquatic Mind, Benjamin Marchal, CHOBO, and Marshall Drgun will DJ Coalition, a new club opening in Neutral's place. For more events, click on over to our events section.
