Weekend events in Toronto will have you visiting fairs and festivals across the city and beyond. desiFEST takes over Dundas Square this Saturday, filling it with the sights, sounds and flavours of South Asia. The Halal Food Fest is also happening in Mississauga this weekend, if you're looking for some top-notch cuisine to cap off your weekend. And Pedestrian Sundays return to Kensington Market this weekend.

Here are my picks for the top events happening in Toronto May 29-31, 2015.
