Free events in Toronto this week are the prefect reason to explore the city, particularly the waterfront, where there's multiple things going on. WinterStations gets underway, it's the last DJ Skate Night, and TIFF launches its youth focused film fest. Better get planning.
Events you might want to check out:Dalton Higgins' A History of Hip Hop (February 12 @ Toronto Public Library - Malvern District Library)
The Toronto Public Library hosts its own speaker series during Black History Month in libraries across the city. Higgins is a hip hop scholar who literally wrote the book on Drake.
Best of Romance Short Film Fest (February 14 @ Carlton Cinemas)
The Carlton brings the love this month, just in time for Valentine's Day. On February 14th they're screening seven romantic shorts from places like Hungary, Italy, and Mexico. It's a film buff's dream date.
Free Rock Show (February 15 @ The Ballroom)
Mill Street presents a free show featuring local rock acts Marlon Chaplin, Six At Best, and Blackdog Ballroom. It's a nice and cheap way to discover new music while upping your concertgoer cred.
TIFF Next Wave (February 16-18 @ TIFF Bell Lightbox)
TIFF's youth and future filmmaker series focuses on the creators of tomorrow, including a young filmmaker's competition and 12 free screenings of 12 films from around the world.
DJ Skate Nights Finale (February 17 @ Harbourfront Centre)
The final free DJ skate party of the season goes down on February 17th, with the theme being African-Caribbean R&B. If you miss this one, you'll have to wait until next winter to skate and dance!
WinterStations (February 18 - April 1 @ The Beaches)
WinterStations brings the world's finest in design, architecture, and contemporary art to the Beaches, with giant sculptures that can survive the harshness of Canadian winter lining the frozen waterfront.
