Weekend Planner: November 7–8, 2009

CELEBRATION: St. Lawrence Market has been a culinary hub of our city since even before we were a city (talk about putting the cart before the horse). This year, while the City of Toronto is celebrating its 175th anniversary, St. Lawrence Market is celebrating 205 years of food and freshness. It won’t be your usual Saturday at the market with live music, buskers, cooking demonstrations, children’s activities, and guided tours of the building. In honour of the city’s birthday, many farmers, merchants, and artisans will be featuring products for the special prices of $1.75 and $11.75. St. Lawrence Market (93 Front Street East), Saturday 9 a.m.–4 p.m., FREE.

ART: The Harbourfront Centre's Power Plant Gallery kicks off its winter season with a public reception tonight with three exhibitions addressing the uncertainties of the world around us. "If We Can't Get It Together," "Headless," and "Beauty Plus Pity" all feature homegrown and international artists, and the gallery promises an exciting series of lectures, films, and other ways to approach the idea that we've over-consumed our way into absolute emotional and fiscal bankruptcy. Happy holidays! The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery (231 Queen's Quay West), opening tonight 7:30–11 p.m., gallery hours Tuesday to Sunday, 12–6 p.m., Wednesday 12–8 p.m., closed Mondays, holiday hours vary, FREE.
