Made in Canada
What better way to celebrate Canada Day long weekend and a trade war with the US than by partying to songs only by Canadian artists. Tonight, DJs Craig Dominic and Maggy will spin tracks by Carly, Celine, Shania, Drake, Justin and any other Canucks they can think of. But, billing says, “absolutely no Nickelback.” Drag queen Priyanka performs. The venue is accessible.
10:30pm–2:30am. Glad Day Bookshop, 499 Church St. For more info, visit Facebook.

Sin
The UK’s DJ Michel Mizrahi spins for a men-only, sex-positive party where, billing says, “everything is permitted” and “we party hard and play harder.” The second floor patio will be open and will include an outdoor back room (in the dirty sense of “back room”). This is definitely an edgier way to celebrate the Canada Day long weekend. The venue is accessible.
10pm–3am. Black Eagle, 457 Church St. For more info, visit Facebook.
