It’s Father’s Day weekend (hope you didn’t forget!) and things are going to heat up on the weather front this weekend.
There is so much to do around the region that it’s hard to pick just five. I mean, there’s the Hops for Pops event on Father’s Day at the Waterloo Region Museum to Courage: A Conversation with Lucy DeCoutere at TheMuseum to 3P1C Journey Tribute in Concert at the Registry Theatre.
It’s really, really hard to pick just five.

Go to Guelph
All weekend
Various events
This weekend, it’s worth the drive to Guelph for a number of events. (Yes, I am cheating by listing a whole bunch of events in this fifth section.)
There’s Hope in the Street Friday in the downtown core, which combines music, food trucks and beer for a fun evening outdoors.
On Saturday starting at 1 p.m., there’s a 10-km tribute ride to the late Henry Kock planned by the 2Rivers Festival and Guelph Coalition for Active Transportation. It’s an easy ride on a gravel trail. See the trees then enjoy a pint at Royal City Brewing at the end, raising a glass to Kock.
There’s Creative Spark in the Park on Saturday in Royal City Park and also on Saturday, the Guelph Makers Pop Up Shop at 10 Carden Street.
There’s the EatStreet: A Brewers’ Feast Saturday night at Old Quebec Street Shoppes, which combines some of the best chefs in Guelph with the great beer available throughout the city.
There’s also a Father’s Day Ale Trail on Sunday that involves local breweries at The Wooly Pub and also on Sunday, you may see superheros running around Exhibition Park for the Superhero Run for KidsAbility.
Phew! Busy weekend in the royal city for sure.
