Trust me. During normal times we have a festival of some sort somewhere in Toronto proper nearly every weekend during the summer. From "Taste of the [insert an ethnic cuisine or local BIA]" to rib fests to street festivals. It's a nightmare to navigate because we also have our "other" season (winter and construction) and during the summer we have infrastructure projects going on...

But I've noticed several states have been going up and down the covid-roller-coaster and the AGs suing cities/counties who are trying to maintain some sort of public health order. I'm not sure how they would view a ribfest operator not running theirs because of covid but hey, what do I know. (IANAPHO)

I would love to try a texan ribfest (and to visit one of my buddies down there), but beyond eating under the open skies, I don't really see the appeal (but I also suspect the ribfests down there are actually value propositions vs the ripoffs they are up here).

And to just end it off with me having chinese carrot cake and a light salad for dinner.
