Toronto Festivals & Events for This Weekend (Jun 20 - Jun 22)

Hey Torontonians,

Ready for the wildest night of Toronto Tech Week? Here’s CodeLaunch CANADA 2025

CodeLaunch is back and it’s bringing the energy. Six Canadian startups team up with pro devs, build something awesome, and pitch it live on stage. The best part? The crowd decides who wins.

There’s live music, an open bar, and catering by Top Chef Canada judge Mark McEwan, plus three levels of good vibes at El Mocamb 🎤 🎤 Whether you're in tech or just tech-curious, this one’s worth checking out.

🗓 Wednesday, June 25
🕔 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM
📍 El Mocambo, Toronto
🎟 Grab your spot here with 50% off for our community using code TORONTOWEEKLY-50

Part pitch comp, part concert, part party. It’s not your typical tech event.

Anyway, checkout what you can do this Friday (6/20) to Sunday (6/22) below! Hope you have a great weekend❣️ Missed out? Catch up with our previous newsletter here.
