I recently heard the statement that Toronto has two seasons: Winter and Construction. Well, this summer put the construction blues behind you and take a peek at some of the fantastic festivals and events happening every week across the city. To start the season off right is “Doors Open Toronto”, where the theme this year is Architects and Architecture.
Quick Reference for Buildings to Visit during Doors Open Toronto:
Saturday, Sunday
One of our favourite local food and environment advocates, Evergreen Brick Works, will be hosting a Doors Open Toronto Festival on both Saturday, May 29th and Sunday, May 30th to help celebrate their new developments to come on site.
If you don’t know what Evergreen Brick Works is, let us fill you in. Evergreen Brick Works is a community environmental centre that inspires and equips visitors to live, work and play more sustainably. They have transformed the former Don Valley Brick Works from a collection of deteriorating heritage buildings into an international showcase for urban sustainability and green design.
Evergreen Brick Works is currently in construction mode, with a grand opening planned for September 2010. Wanna a sneek peek at the final product? Click here to get a bird’s eye view of what’s to come. Better yet, visit in person every Saturday starting May 29th until October for the infamous Saturday Farmers Market, which features a fabulous assortment of fruits, vegetables, wild fish, meat, cheese, milled flours, eggs and oils—all from local farmers.
