The Toronto Traveler

Winter Fest this year is going to be very interesting, with the highlight performance being sung by Omarion.  This is a man that is absolutely multi-talented, with the ability to produce, act and sing.  He is a performing arts genius and he will be joined at the Winter Fest concert celebration by young and upcoming R&B artists Trey Songz and Mario.  The price for this concert is quite hefty, with tickets starting around $65.00, but at the same time if you are a big fan of this kind of music and want to get in on the Winter Fest fun, …read more

Taiko Drumming is one of the most energetic artistic forms in the world.  The drummers not only need to have strong arms, but they need to have a high level of overall endurance in order to get through performances that number in the hours in terms of length while they are going at maximum in order to create the great beats that Taiko drums are known for.  We’ve got a club of Taiko drummers at the University of Toronto and every time I see those guys I just have to sit in awe of how they are able to keep …read more

Adults get in for $12, students and seniors get in for $7 and children get in for $5 at the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre’s annual celebration of the October 31st festivities.
The Elgin Theatre is the last operating double-decker theatre in the whole world community, something that makes it a must see for movie and theatre buffs that visit the city of Toronto.  However, the folks at Elgin know how to get down and spooky when the time comes and that is why this event ended up making the final list of great Halloween events for you to visit during …read more
