CELEBRATION: St. Lawrence Market has been a culinary hub of our city since even before we were a city (talk about putting the cart before the horse). This year, while the City of Toronto is celebrating its 175th anniversary, St. Lawrence Market is celebrating 205 years of food and freshness. It won’t be your usual Saturday at the market with live music, buskers, cooking demonstrations, children’s activities, and guided tours of the building. In honour of the city’s birthday, many farmers, merchants, and artisans will be featuring products for the special prices of $1.75 and $11.75. St. Lawrence Market (93 Front Street East), Saturday 9 a.m.–4 p.m., FREE.

On any given Sunday, at least since we were all babies and The Simpsons started sucking, the best place in the city to squeeze the last few minutes out of your weekend is at Sneaky Dee's. While the Dakota Tavern has been getting more attention (and line-ups) lately for its weekly Barn Dance, Dee's is home to the most delicious veggie nachos ever in the whole world, but, more importantly, the indie-cool mecca Wavelength Music Series. The tried-and-true weekly party turns nine this week and is celebrating in its usual style with an anniversary festival, this year spanning four nights (Thursday–Sunday), five venues, and hosting nineteen bands. As newer weekly showcases such as Two Way Monologues start to build their legacy with local music fans, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to say the task might be daunting: the taste-making Wavelength series counts among its success stories a pre-Polaris Final Fantasy and pre-kings of everything Broken Social Scene (who, as Wavelength co-founder Jonny Dovercourt told us on a past anniversary, played their first show at the series in 2000 at original venue Ted's Wrecking Yard. Holy cred!).

Every Sunday, Torontoist features an illustration of a concert from the past week, with a focus on local talent.

No, you are not mistaken; Michael Bublé, Ozzy Osbourne and Rob Zombie are all passing through the city this week. Imagine Michael Bublé (for some unknown reason) making a vocal cameo during Ozzy’s sure-to-be "Crazy Train" encore? Best mash-up, ever! Or not. Ozzy, Michael, and that ridiculous idea aside, there is a show worthy of your attendance for reasons beyond an ideal encore.
