Help us have a blast in Toronto this weekend!

Obviously very last-minute, but: I'm going to be in Toronto this weekend (Friday-Sunday) with a good friend. Relevant details: two guys, 29/30, enjoy a drink and love music and the outdoors. We're staying in a hostel. Any recommendations for things to do?

I'll actively follow the thread in case additional details help.

Saturday. Toronto Island. Beach House, Band of Horses, Broken Social Scene and Pavement. Do it.

NXNE started today, or yesterday. There are a shit ton of concerts you can go see.

The Luminato festival is on right now.

Toronto is also a pretty fun place to be watching the World Cup, as no matter which team wins, there'll be a party somewhere in town.

Where's your hostel? That'll help with planning.

Make sure to drop into a subway station and buy a TTC day pass for each day- on weekends, two adults can share a single pass, so the two of you can get unlimited transit rides for $10/day.

Response by poster: Argh!

This is all great information - and much appreciated, but my travel partner just called to say he has the flu and so it looks like we're re-scheduling. I'll definitely take up some of the non-date-specific suggestions in the future.

If you're changing days - Toronto is hosting the G20 later this month. Do your best to avoid that.

If you're into records, there's a NXNE record show on Saturday. If you're coming the week after, a friend's record store is having a sale.
