The Weekend To-Do: A folk fest out west, a big-city flea market, the must-see movie of the moment and more!
The fall collections may have already hit store floors but don’t fret; there’s still plenty of time for days on the beach and nights on the patio. And this weekend there’s also a big-city flea market, a Prairie folk festival, a big closing ceremony and some contemporary Spanish design to check out. Olé!

Bravos: Groundbreaking Spanish Design

Aug. 9 – 23
The Design Exchange, 234 Bay St., Toronto
Edmonton Folk Music Festival
Three days of folk music in the park sounds like a nice complement to last weekend’s festival fever. Don’t miss Emmylou Harris who performs tonight on the Main Stage.
Aug. 9 – 12
Gallagher Park, Edmonton
Twin Shadow
Brooklyn’s George Lewis Jr. aka Twin Shadow is bringing his ’80s-influenced pop rock to Vancouver on Saturday and it’s definitely worth checking out.
Aug. 11
Venue, 881 Granville St., Vancouver
2 Days in New York
The sequel to 2007’s 2 Days in Paris opens tonight. Follow Marion, played by Julie Delpy, from Paris to New York and her ensuing relationship with talk-show host Mingus, played by Chris Rock.
In theatres across Canada Aug. 9
Closing Ceremony
Is it time to say goodbye already? After two weeks of Olympic-mania, London closes the curtains with a no doubt over the top ceremony titled A Symphony of British Music. Several names have been bandied about as potential performers, including the Spice Girls, One Direction, George Michael, Kate Bush and Adele, who is also rumoured to be behind the opening song in the next James Bond film Skyfall.
