Michael Bridge improvises a live musical score for the 1923 silent film The Hunchback of Notre Dame at the historic Roxy Theatre. The composer creates the music on the spot as the film plays, turning the classic story of the bell-ringer Quasimodo into a one-of-a-kind experience that blends cinema with live performance.

the first year-round public market in the province, housed in the historic farmers market building in Riversdale. inside you will find local food, drink, fresh grocery, prepared meals, and makers selling under one roof, open through every season. from May into September an outdoor farmers market spills out two days a week with produce and growers. it is a good place to graze, pick up something to take home, and see local makers in person. come hungry and leave with bags.
a Riversdale microbrewery with a year-round taproom, the cellar door, where you can drink the beer a few steps from where it is made. the lineup rotates, the room is unpretentious, and it makes an easy first stop before dinner or a show in the neighbourhood. pull up at the bar, work through a flight, and figure out which one you want a full pour of. a good place to start a Riversdale night, or to settle in for the afternoon. local through and through.
