ARTS & CRAFTS
One of a Kind Show
The semi-annual showcase of all things artisanal has a new feature: an Etsy marketplace where 40 predominantly online retailers flog their wares in the flesh. Check out our top picks from the hodgepodge of craft clothing, art, jewellery, food, beauty products, toys and assorted knick-knacks. $14. March 27–31. Direct Energy Centre, Exhibition Place. oneofakindshow.com

EASTER
Toronto Zoo Annual Easter “Egg” Stravaganza
The zoo is hosting an egg hunt where children follow clues that lead to exotic animal eggs rather than the standard chocolate variety (touching is permitted—but no eating!). Two giant panda mascots are greeting visitors at the front entrance to celebrate the arrival of real-life pandas Er Shun and Da Mao earlier this week (the actual bears are stuck in quarantine for 30 days). General admission $20; kids $11; children two and under free. March 27–31. Toronto Zoo, 2000 Meadowvale Road. torontozoo.com

The monthly showcase is the longest running urban comedy night in Canada with live performances from up-and-comers and established comedians alike. This month: Kenny Robinson and The Nubian Disciples of Pryor headline. $17.70. March 31. Yuk’s Comedy Club, 224 Richmond St. W., 416-967-6431. Ages 19+, yukyuks.com
