Breakfast & Your Weekend is your source for breakfast restaurants that are located in the vicinity of special events that are happening over the weekend in Toronto. We’ll help you start your day right with a great breakfast or feed the hangover from the night before.

This Weekend -
Buskerfest – August 21, 22 & 23, The Underwear Affair – August 23

Buskerfest, Ontario’s largest street performers’ festival, is taking place at St. Lawrence Market (located west of Jarvis Street between King Street East and the Esplanade) from August 21 to 23. It offers a collection of musicians, sketch artists artisans and entertainers. You may see performers skateboarding through fire, performing magic or contorting their bodies in ridiculous forms.

The event is free to attend; however, they are accepting donations Epilepsy Toronto.
