FESTIVAL: The second annual Youth Day happens today in Nathan Phillips Square. Last year’s inaugural event attracted upwards of 5,000 visitors, and hopes to attract even more this year. The outdoor celebration features youth talent in music, art, photography, and dance. Other attractions include artisan booths, an electric bike exhibit, and a stand selling funnel cakes. That’s right, funnel cakes! You don’t even have to go all the way to Canada’s Wonderland! Nathan Phillips Square (100 Queen Street West), 12:00 p.m., FREE.
