I like trance and would like to discover the guvernment, boat parties, beach parties & the Toronto nightlife. I thought of last week of June & first of July to get the Canada day parties + 2 weekends, what do u think of it ? I will spend 1 week in Toronto & 1 week in Montreal. Thanks a lot, Manu

I would recommend the Beats, Breaks, and Culture festival that happens within the first 2 weeks of July here

So very true. Canada Day is quite an epic day. Can't wait for this year.

Hopefully Lawler doesn't get booked again though, or I'll just skip out on it and do the day parties.

it's funny, the best Canada Day parties I've experienced have been outside of Canada! it seems as if expats and travelers from here are far more inclined to 'let loose' when celebrating elsewhere......

uhhh....really?

It's a neat event, but far from being "Best party of the summer", if it was something on the scale of Mutek, I'd be inclined to agree.

I always head down to check it out, but have yet have a really-great time at it. But, being free / local / a short walk, hard to complain - but not worth traveling from afar for.

Surprised that no one has mentioned Pride yet, gay or straight it's a great time, especially if your willing to put music-snobbery aside. The music rarely falls into the stuff that I normally listen to, but always have a blast.

Pride WAS good when they used to have the street party on the Sunday but now it's just lame.

The cash grab of putting the party in the beer garden has ruined the vibe/fun of Pride for me.

see you at the zone

True, pushing it all into the beer gardens on the last day has put a damper on the vibe a bit, but I still had a good time last year. Although, the year before I skipped out - was at a house party, left to goto the beer garden, saw how massive the line was then just kept on walking home.

Cherry beach is like nothing else and is something you should experience


But wait till the DJs are annouced I am sure that will help your decision

ps. Comfort zone is an option too lol

Definitely Canada Day. There's lots going on (night parties/day parties) and it's right in the middle of the summer, so the weather's always nice!
