Jul 12 2017, 3:19 am

Happy Humpday, Toronto! Here are five great way to spend your Wednesday.

Free Flicks Wayne’s World 

Fun fact: Mike Myers first played Wayne Campbell on stage at Toronto’s Second City, and developed him further on CBC’s It’s Only Rock ‘N Roll. And he snuck plenty of hometown references into the movie, which may be set in Illinois but is totally Toronto at heart. “Stan Mikita’s Donuts”? Shyeah, right.

Where: Concert Stage, 235 Queens Quay West
When: July 12, from 9 to 11 pm

Petsmart Doggie Ice Cream Social 

Ice cream trucks in Toronto have officially gone to the dogs.

Rolling into town for one-day only next week is a food truck that deals in treats for humans AND their four-legged best friends. The ice cream truck from PetSmart will be making the rounds and hosting free ice cream socials at parks in Toronto on Wednesday, July 12.

On the truck menu: dog-safe, vanilla, non-dairy ice cream (since dairy isn’t always dogs’ best friend).

Where: Berczy and Woodbine Park 
When: July 12, from noon to 4 pm at Berczy Park, 4:30 to 8 pm at Woodbine Park
