It's Thursday, and the weekend is fast approaching. Need stuff to see or do? We've got you covered. In this edition: a mysterious film screening, a feast to fight cancer, a gathering of the undead and more.
OktoberFEAST 2013
When: Oct. 25
Where: Evergreen Brick Works
Details:
Organized by the Canadian Cancer Society, OktoberFEAST is an Oktoberfest-themed fundraiser to fight cancer. The event, taking place this Friday night at the scenic Evergreen Brick Works, will offer food from some of Toronto’s best food trucks, and of course, beverages aplenty in the form of beer from some of Ontario’s finest craft brewers.
360 Screenings
When: Oct. 25-26
Where: Undisclosed location
Details: Experience Toronto's most mysterious and interactive film event this weekend. 360 Screenings, which occur just a few times annually, provides a cinematic experience like none other by taking the viewer from audience to participant. Each screening is located in a Toronto heritage or unique building, but the actual location is kept under wraps until 24 hours prior to the event. The viewer will then watch a live performance, followed by the film (which also isn't revealed until halfway though the evening), and is encouraged to interact with the performers and the set.
Delicious Food Show
When: Oct. 25-27
Where: Better Living Centre
Details:
The Delicious Food Show is exactly what it sounds like. Taking place this weekend at the Better Living Centre, the three-day event will feature hundreds of vendors, along with food tastings, cooking demonstrations, hands-on workshops and appearances by such celebrities as Martha Stewart, Lynn Crawford, Mark McEwan, Chuck Hughes and Michael Smith.
Toronto Zombie Walk and Halloween Parade
When: Oct. 26
Where: Meet at Nathan Phillips Square
Details:
The annual Toronto Zombie Walk kicks off at Nathan Phillips Square this Saturday with the ritual throwing of the severed head (tossed this year by horror icon Linnea Quigley). From there, hordes of Torontonians dressed in their best undead attire will terrorize their way around the city before looping back to their starting point for some post-walk zombie entertainment.
Junction Pumpkinfest
When: Oct. 26
Where: The Junction Train Platform
Details:
Make your way over to the Junction this weekend for a festival celebrating all things pumpkin-inspired. Perfect for families, the gourd-themed fest features pumpkin carving and crafts, as well as pumpkin-infused foods including pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin beer and even pumpkin roti.
