[URBAN NOTE] "Huge party in Toronto to commemorate 2003 blackout"

blogTO's Phil Villeneuve notes an awesome-sounding party.

Sunday August 14, roughly around 4 p.m. marks the 13th anniversary of the Toronto Blackout of 2003. Ahhh, what a glorious day that was. Ice cream melted and was eaten, humans spoke to each other, babies were made, it was a trip back to simpler times.

If you'd like to relive that day, don't worry, there's a pretty huge anniversary party planned.

Everything kicks off with a picnic at 6 p.m. in Jimmie Simpson Park featuring samba, musical and dance workshops! Folks are encouraged to bring their own blankets and snacks to share.
