This weekend’s main event: A massive mac and cheese festival that pits 40 cooks against each other to craft Toronto’s most delectable mac and cheese. Seriously, the thing happens for 3 days, so plan on a massive diet/gym binge afterwards to recover. Also happening: a city-wide civic engagement event to build stronger communities, the Riverdale Art Walk and a day-long festival that celebrates our city’s awesome cultural diversity. Just a few of the amazing events happening this weekend in Toronto, June 3-5.
