This weekend in Toronto: a risque craft fair, cyclists face off on ice, some Valentine's Day burlesque, a graffiti flashmob with love, a showcase of local indie short films, a kickoff for gardening season, and Diaspora Dialogues' tribute to Black History Month.

Happy New Year! Celebrate in style with a Tranzac fundraiser, an old-fashioned Prohibition party, the Sadies' annual show, a burlesque extravaganza, a polar bear plunge in Ashbridges Bay, New Year's levées with the mayor and lieutenant governor, and a baroque Viennese concert from the Musicians in Ordinary.

This weekend in Toronto: a consumer-friendly sex convention, a border showdown of wordsmiths, the Tranzac's fund drive continues, Canada's premiere all-boy burlesque team shakes their collective backsides, Santa rolls into town, comedians compete, and more film fests than you can shake a reel at.
