Just being honest here: There’s a chance the weather could really screw up your weekend again because the weather is a jerk. But, we’re not going to let that stop us.
Obviously, the big music event this weekend is, well, the Weeknd, playing the first show on Sunday and continuing for two more days. But you’ll also find local shows at Blueprint Livehouse and Mr. Fox Livehouse.
For foodies, keep your eye on Igniv for a special menu, or head down to Gigi Asoke for a bit of pizza.
Beyond that, we have taichi, art, running, heavy metal, DJs, takeovers, and more. Plan ahead and be safe. Remember: The weather is not the boss of us.
