Reasons to love summer in Toronto

Most of the year, I am ambivilent at best about the city that I live in. I could really care less about it (except for the obvvious perk that I see more BSS than most people)and find that it has very few redeeming qualities. That all changes in June every year. These are just a few of the reasons that in the summer I actually love the city where I live.

10 reasons to love summer in Toronto:

1. The best thing about Toronto at any time of year is the Olympic Island Concert (though this years pales in comaprrison to past incarnations that have included BSS)
2. Beaches Jazz Festival
3. Kensington Pedestrian Sundays
4. Harbourfront Centre World Routes
5. The Dream in High Park
6. Luminato
7. The Fringe Festival
8. Caribana
9. Patios
10.Downtown Jazz Festival



Sadly, for the first time in years I will be missing what is possibly the best weekend in the city of Toronto - Caribana. But it is for a good cause - I will be off revisiting my childhood with my sister in Cape Cod and most importantly - seeing whales!!!
