Toronto International Festival of Authors

Date(s): September TBD, 2025
Location: Harbourfront Centre

The Toronto International Festival of Authors (TIFA) is Canada’s largest and longest-running literary festival, presented with a vision to inspire, empower and connect through the art of stories. Each fall, literary fans gather to meet, hear and learn from the world’s leading contemporary authors.

In 2022, the 43rd Edition of the Toronto International Festival of Authors took place live and in person at Toronto’s Harbourfront Centre, with additional online offerings to complement the programme. Building on the potential of the Festival’s location, in particular the outdoor spaces, TIFA will enhance the experience for audiences and authors, opening up new creative opportunities to develop the Festival programme and activities.
