Rooftop Rendezvous: Temptation Accomplished

On Thursday 15^th, The Rooftop rendezvous was THE rendezvous not to miss! Indeed, The CUBE nightclub hosted more than 400 guests from CityEvents and Shanny in the City for the Rooftop rendezvous!

The night was an opportunity to taste a new cider: Tempt Cider, with strawberry and lime flavors, but also to enjoy the presence of artists and an incredible view on the city and the CN Tower.

The CUBE nightclub brings you into a parallel world. From the entrance you leave the city and its buildings to enter in a small corridor looking like the path to a secret garden, to be finally guided to a rooftop patio, a true bubble inside the city.  CUBE Nightclub is a new Toronto event venue used by a variety of groups.

Everleigh

Everleigh is a new venue which opened earlier this year, in April, in the old Century Room. Everleigh is the seventh venture from the Capture Group

This is not really a club nor a bar or a lounge but an amazing mix of the three.  It’s location in the heart of downtown Toronto, (on King Street West & Portland St), makes it the place to go to in the entertainment district.

Once checked in, the space is a wonder at first sight. The whole venue is filled with eccentric & eclectic visuals. From the urban look mixed up with vintage designs and baroque furniture, to graphs and Mr Monopoly painting on the walls.

Everyone can fill quickly at ease in that kind of space as you will most likely be able to encounter something of your liking. The aim having been to recreate an overlook of the “Canadian lifestyle interpreted through nostalgia, art, music, cocktails and culture”

The space is available for corporate and private events. We at CityEvents had the chance to attend the venue’s showcase late June. The space is full of possibilities and promises. It will most likely make a big impact on your attendees as the venue is that unexpected! From a floor  of maple leafs made out of pennies to the ceiling, with steel shaped birds, your eyes will catch on a detail that makes the difference.

Indoor capacity: 5,500 Sq.Ft. with 500 standing cocktail reception, 150 seated dinner as well as a small patio.

Amentities: Includes state of the art AV system, DJ Booth and catering Kitchen.

Canada Day Weekend Celebrations!

Summer is coming (finally!) and with it the most anticipated celebration of the Canadian Calendar. We are lucky this year it lands on a Monday. Canada Day is coming and like everybody for the week; you will be looking for something to do, to have fun, to meet with family and friends. A one of a kind event that will embody that special day.

Below you will find a short list of what is happening in Toronto for this celebratory weekend.  But first a little bit of history (to share knowledge at the family barbecue or on a patio with friends)

Did you know that Canada Day used to be called Dominion Day? (As Canada was a part of the British Commonwealth)

It’s also the anniversary of the Constitution Act (1867) which stated the junction of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the Canada province (Ontario and Quebec) in one and a whole country.

The first official celebration was held in 1917 to honor Canada’s 50th birthday. (This years’ is the 146th!)  But the holiday was made official in 1982, the same year that the Canada Act was passed and the link with the United Kingdom was broken.

Canada Day also marks a number of breakthroughs and significant events:

• The first national radio connection by the Canadian National Railway in 1927.
• The first cross-country broadcasted in 1958 by the CBC.
• The first color television transmission in Canada in 1966.
•  “O Canada” made the official national anthem in 1980.

Nowadays the event is most likely celebrated with parades, fireworks, carnivals, outdoor concerts & activities, and festivals. It’s also a time for Canadian to play sports, spend time at the beach and celebrate around the barbecue. (Source: http://www.canada-day.ca/)
