Today in Toronto you don't have to cross the Atlantic to experience Icelandic culture. Experience a flurry of Icelandic cuisine with a special menu at Luma until Sunday (and a free concert on the weekend). The inaugural Inspire! Toronto International Book Fair will take place November 13-16 at the Metro Convention Centre with over 400 authors on hand, including such heavyweights as Margaret Atwood (but of course), William Gibson, Anne Rice, and Kathy Reichs.

Double Double Land are celebrating their fifth anniversary party, which will carry on over three nights until Saturday. Read our interview with Kensington Market's oldest DIY venue here. For more events, click on over to our events section.
