Transcript

If the summer in Toronto might be top two and it's not two. The Toronto girlies wanted a summer 2026 to-do list, so this is part two. If you want an all-around vibe, I'm talking top 40, hip hop, dancehall, a little bit of everything, Palm Trees or Steady. I usually kick off my summer with one of these two. They work with similar DJs and hosts, but the vibe is a little bit different every time. Another option is Spin the Block. So many of my mutuals went last summer and said it was a time. I'll definitely be there this year. Where to Party Toronto is a really good page to follow for events with this type of vibe. AfroBeats and I'm a piano lovers, you are going to start with AfroVerified. It's one central space for events in that lane. Recently, I've been seeing Uncles of TO pop up a lot. Their Afro parties look lit. I will definitely be tapping in. I got to sneak Jerk x Jollof on here. It's not a day party, but if you're already at Cabana and it's there that night, you got to pull up. Which brings me to our Caribbean parties. Two words, Uncle Delroy. The OG dancehall karaoke vibe. People in Toronto love them some Uncle Delroy. Another fan favorite is definitely Deh Ya. Oh girl, that sounded Canadian as hell. The last party in this category that the girls were louding last summer is Tallawah Sound System. To wrap this up, if you want more grown energy, any of DJ Charlie B's events, Junior Jones Group, and Somebody Anybody for the R&B lovers. If I missed your favorite, drop it in the comments for someone else. I will see y'all in the next video.
