You know how they say it: ‘sun’s out, guns out.’ In this case, we’re talking about the different music festivals and concerts happening around Toronto. There are a lot of sunny days that it’s a shame not to go out and enjoy. It’s even better when there’s music, the company of friends, and good food to accompany it.
If you plan to go out and soak in the sun, why not go to a concert along with it? Shows are happening in Toronto this coming June and onwards. We’re going to take a look at some of them and where they’re happening.
