From the folks at Promise:

"This weekend is Pride weekend and there are many great events around town. Sunday, of course, is the parade and David Morales is at the main tent on Church Street at 9pm. Also Pedestrian Sundays are happening at Kensington Market and its a really well done day. Rest up and get out there.

This weekend at the beach we’re in for a treat. Our friend Johanna contacted us and offered to bring her friend Sean Kosa from Montreal to the beach party to play. Turns out Sean is closely associated with Lipstick Records, the label run by ex-Toronto dj and friend Jean-Michel Cauvin (Nivoc). Sean has a residency at Stereo and has played often at Picnique Electronique (the sunday afternoon techno weekly in Montreal). We’re not sure what to expect from him but he’s from Montreal, and apparently sounds like a fusion of Bassment Jaxx and Freaks. Check out a mix of his at http://www.lipstickmusic.com/audio/...-_live_2005.mp3


Bring a frisbee, bring a kite, bring a handy sweater, bring a dog (only nice dogs), bring your lover and a hammock. And pass the time on this lazy sunny sunday afternoon with friends and friends of friends.

3 to 11pm sunday - east end of the park, in from the water

3:00 Wes - ambient beats
4:30 Mel Boogie - dub, reggae and dancehall
5:30 Don Cash - electro clash and house with live vocals
6:30 Dylan Troyer - dreamy techno
7:30 Vitamins for You - live
8:30 Steve Yanko - sunset house
9:30 Sean Kosa (Montreal) - electro funk

Directions to Cherry Beach: Take Lakeshore Blvd east of downtown just past Parliament. Turn south down Cherry Street all the way to the end, then go east into the parking lot on your left. At the furthest east of the lot walk along the bike path and turn left up the trail into the woods... you'll hear music. If you end up at the lake, you're going the wrong way.

Biking to Cherry Beach is easy along the paths beside the lake, a new bus route from Union Station goes down there too.

Things to think about : Please bring only what you plan to take back out with you - leave no trace. Pack something warm (it gets cool after dark by the lake) and something to sit on and also something to keep sun off your head. Drink lots of water. Bring something to share.

And remember while down at the beach to take care of your friends, your neighbours, and what's going on around you. It's what makes the sunday afternoons happen smoothly.

If the weather turns grey the day of, call 416 323 0361 for the contingency plan."
