Right in the midst of the holidays, the annual winter music festival, Solaris spanned two nights this past weekend. The Enercare Centre at the Exhibition was packed with young people, filling the air with electric dancing, good vibes, and lots of love for the heavy bass drops.
At Best of Toronto, we talk a lot about “Experiencing Toronto Better” (and maybe sometimes do). So what does that mean? I think it can mean a lot of things including discovering great dining, restaurants, shopping opportunities and, of course, attending some of the best events in Toronto with your friends.

This Civic Holiday weekend featured another solid lineup at this year’s VELD Music Festival 2015 with big acts like Steve Aoki, A$AP Rocky, Nicky Romero, Kaskade and the return of Deadmau5, as one of the producers alongside LiveNation and INK Entertainment.

As you probably heard from us and many others, the first ever WayHome music festival was by far a top summer music festival as they had promised, which attracted over 35,000 people from every province and territory as well as U.S. and other countries to see well-known headliners over the 3 day festivities such as Neil Young + Promise of the Real, Kendrick Lamar, Hozier, Alt-J and Sam Smith.

This past Friday and Saturday, the music festival known as Bestival arrives for the first time from the UK with a few big names including Florence and the Machine and Nas, which took place this past Friday and Saturday at Hanlan’s Point Beach on the Toronto Islands.
