Today in Toronto: 420, Underground Chef Cartel, Fresh Prince Marathon, Stellar Living, Washoku Matsuri

Today in Toronto it's that magic number: if combustibles are your thing and arson seems like a bummer, the 420 rally will go down as usual at Yonge & Dundas. For the munchies there's The 10th annual Washoku Matsuri Japanese Food Festival organized by the Japanese Restaurant Association of Canada, including signature dishes Cafe Michi, Sushi Kaji and Hiro Sushi.

Or (fierce munchies), The Underground Chef Cartel are hosting their third battle with Chef Alex Molitz (Geraldine) vs. Chef Hayden Johnston (Richmond Station). Bloorcourt gallery Mercer Union's biannual fundraiser features an amazing list of artists including Abbas Akhavan, Suzy Lake, Micah Lexier, Ulysses Castellanos, Vanessa Maltese, VSVSVS, and more. The auction is May 13. For more events, click on over to our events section.
