With news that Toronto亚洲金博宝188官网are being urged to move to delivery and takeout only andbars and nightclubsclose immediately, some events typically hosted at physical locations are converting to digital.

Erin Brockobić, organizer of theSunday Drag Brunchseries that takes place atGlad Day Bookshop, announced today that there will bean online brunch hangoutwhere folks can donate toGlad Day’s Emergency Fund.

Vancouver indie rock musician丹•摩根was also quick to adapt to changing circumstances last week when the second of two shows atThe Danforth Music Hallwas postponed.

Mangan broadcast what he called #Quarantunes #ShowToNobody on live stream to the near-empty concert hall andposted the audience-less performance to YouTube.

It's difficult to predict how the coronavirus will continue to impact events and festivals in Toronto, but online events might help us feel just a little more connected.
