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

It's the first Pedestrian Sunday of the year in Kensington Market, where you'll find a host of street performers, food on sticks, and the Kensington's Art Fair, which has returned for a second year.
FOOD & DRINK

Halal Food Fest (May 30-31)
The Halal Food Fest may be a little out of the way if you live downtown, but it's worth checking out for the delicious food. The fest offers samples, stores, and a street fest. There's a bonus if you're in touch with the Toronto food truck scene, a new one will be launching at the event: The Holy Grill.
