Weekend events in Toronto will be nothing if not loud, as the Honda Indy rolls into town. Don't worry, if you don't have a need for speed, there are plenty of other options. Bestival takes over the Toronto Islands with an impressive lineup, and there are a number of street fests and markets popping up across the city.

Here are my picks for the top events happening in Toronto June 12-14, 2015.
