MUSIC: The squeaky wheels of Toronto get the grease this weekend. Poor ticket sales and feedback were enough to prompt Virgin Festival organizers to bail on Burl's Creek and settle on the Molson Amphitheatre as the festival's new venue. That means there won't be any tents or toasted marshmallows, but your concert ticket will garner you free same-day admission to Ontario Place and the CNE. V-Fest is boasting a line-up of more than thirty bands, with Ben Harper and Relentless7, Pixies, and Franz Ferdinand taking the stage on Saturday. Sunday's notables include Nine Inch Nails, Pet Shop Boys, and Our Lady Peace. There will also be plenty of Can-con this weekend with Sloan, The Rural Alberta Advantage, Thunderheist, Plants and Animals, and The D'Urbervilles. Molson Amphitheatre (909 Lakeshore Boulevard West), Saturday and Sunday 1 p.m., $39.50 and up.

Everyone has a story for that night when the lights went out.

Those Pedestrian Sundays folk are back this weekend (July 15), and this time they're taking over Baldwin Village.

At 2 p.m. near Baldwin and Augusta there will be a sun piñata. This model differs from other piñatas in that all the children need to pull on the strings of the piñata simultaneously to unravel its bounty instead of each kid lining up to take a swing. After that there will be a series of "fire stories" told by members of the community and the local fire department, followed by a fashion show in which $25 Canadian will buy you $50 Kensington, and contestants purchase clothes from merchants around the market. There will be judging and prizes afterwards.

Pedestrian Sundays in Kensington market, more commonly known as P.S.Kensington, kicks off its fourth year this Sunday, May 27th.

So, late tomorrow afternoon when you wake up all hungover from Halloween partying in the apartments directly above beside and across from Torontoist's (or perhaps as early as noon if you have small children or are that one guy who didn't see the flyers) please try to remember that the weekend is not over yet.

This weekend was brought to you by Kensington and the number 5. Okay, we made up the bit about the number 5, but Kensington was the august August weekend theme. From a long and endearing piece about Kensington kids in the Sunday Star to Pedestrian Sundays to Saturday Night in the market, Kensington was the word. So let's proceed with a short wrap up of the newly crazy Saturday Night scene.
