The Canadian Wind Energy Association sponsors the October 2nd, 2010 edition of
WindFest which is Toronto's Waterfront Kite Festival held at Ashbridges Bay. I haven't seen a hot air balloon festival yet but I am hoping that this kite festival comes pretty close. As they say "WindFest is a chance to celebrate autumn, wind power and the breathtaking are of kite flying, on Toronto's largest beach". It's a little cool today so you might want to leave your bathing thong at home.
The kites take to the sky from 11am to 4pm. They also had kids having parachute races.

Joe Pantalone (centre) was also at the beach, he didn't bring his thong, he brought his beach suit.
