FUNDRAISER

Alzheimer’s Walk for Memories This 5k walk to benefit the Alzheimer’s Society of Toronto winds through the underground PATH, mercifully keeping participants out of the elements.

RAP BATTLE

King of the Dot The Opera House is hosting an entire weekend of rap battles, including a Saturday title match between rappers Pat Stay and Dizaster. Concertgoers may even spot Deadmau5 in the crowd. Jan. 24–25. Tickets $40, or $70 for both days. The Opera House, 735 Queen St. E., facebook.com
