Lake N’ Bake
Recap
Lake N’ Bake took place on the breathtaking waters of Lake Ontario, Toronto on Saturday, August 17 , 2024 from 11am – 5pm. Even though weather was unstable in our area, the skies above Lake Ontario, Toronto stayed calm for our adventure. We set forth on a journey of relaxation, entertainment, and connection in an exclusive 6-hour event that was designed for enthusiasts like you. With literally a minute of rain and some sunny breaks in the clouds, the response was an overwhelming success and most of all, people had fun. Looking forward to next year. Thanks again to our amazing title sponsor, brand sponsors, social media influencers, and all the wonderful attendees that put their trust in us. See you at Lake N’ Bake 2025!

Tailgate
10:45AM – 12:45PM
Our Lake N’ Bake adventure began with a 2-hour tailgate prior to the main event, where attendees had the opportunity to interact with a diverse range of brands for education on new and current product offerings. Many attendees had never attended a canna-event and were delighted by the intimate setting and concept of engaging different brands while at a party rather than a trade show type event. Our pre-event tailgate set the stage for an epic experience ahead. Many of you got to connect, explore, and elevate your journey during our Lake N’ Bake event – and that’s our goal!
Our friends over at Montrose setup an amazing tent where our brand partners got to engage not only CannSell certified consumers, but also members of the general public who find it hard to navigate the rapidly evolving product landscape. We’re looking forward to improving and sharing our next adventure in spring 2025.

As a certified world champion (2003 DMC World Champion) and founding member of the Turntable Monkz, Dopey (born Jon Ryan Santiago) has taken the opportunity to tour the world a few times over. He has shared stages with the likes of Eminem, Slum Village, Kanye West, Kardinal Offishall, Dragonette and Steve Aoki, as well as DJ’d for Jazz Cartier. He continues his globetrotting by carrying out his seasoned successes as a key group member of Notes to Self, a rap crew from Toronto. It is without saying that his hard work has contributed to successful release of two Notes to Self albums. In his down time Dopey immerses himself in their creative process, spending time off tour, in the studio with Notes, writing and recording. As one of Canada’s premiere DJ talents, Dopey spent 2006 – 2013 as an integral part of the Gemini Award winning TV show MTV Live.
In his 10 years as a DJ/Turntablist, Dopey has “battled” his way to the top; he’s performed alongside the world’s best DJ’s and musicians, and has now taken to the studio portion of being an artist. Currently he released “(Lament) Reprise”, a follow up to 2015’s “Dopeys Lament”.
Dopey is a rare and humbled talent that will continue to push the limits, not just as a DJ but as a recording artist as well
